Solution

The correct option is C Exogenous
D. Exogenous
Reason: Spinose structures of plants are hard with sharp, stiff ends and perform the functions of deterring animals from the plants. These are either thorns, spines or prickles. However, unlike thorns that are derived from the shoots and spines that are derived from leaves, prickles are derived from the epidermis and thus, can be found anywhere on the plant. The prickles of roses are exogenous in origin.
