Solution

The correct option is B Stem
Just like other plants, sugarcane plants have leaves, stems and roots.
Its stem is thick and upon maturity gives rise to edible sugarcane.
Sugarcane can be consumed in raw form but some of us prefer to have sugarcane juice.
Sugarcane juice is obtained by crushing the peeled stem of sugarcane.
This juice or sugar cane syrup is processed in sugar mills at large scales to extract sugar crystals.
