Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B
The underground stem of a banana plant is called as a rhizome. The terminal growing point of the rhizome is the apical meristem, which is a flattened dome like structure. The leaves and the inflorescence are formed from this apical meristem. Sucker is a lateral shoot that develops from the rhizome and develops into a new banana plant.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
