Solution

The correct option is D i-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b
Roots that grow from any part of plant other than the radicle are called adventitious roots. When adventitious root becomes thick and fleshy due to storage of food, it is called as fleshy adventitious root. When swollen root occurs in cluster, it is called as fasciculated tuberous roots. Dahlia shows this type of root. In it, roots lie at the base of the stem. Solanum tuberosum is commonly known as potato. It is a starchy tuber that grows under the ground. It has nodes or eyes from which the new growth begins. The buds present in the depression of leaf margins are called as epiphyllous buds. Examples include Begonia and Bryophyllum plants. Runner is a stem grown on the ground surface. Cynodon has runner. It has 3 leaves at each node on the extended runners.
Thus, the correct answer is 'i-c, ii-a, iii-d, iv-b.'
