Solution

The correct option is B Fleshy scales
Onion is a thick, bulb like structure. The stem is short, highly condensed into a flat disc and bears small fibrous roots at the base and leaves above. The outer leaves are dry and scaly (scale leaves). The outer dry scales enclose thick fleshy leaves which store food.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
