Solution

The correct option is C

Phylloclades


These are modified to perform the function of photosynthesis.

Cladode is also a phylloclade but is of limited growth.

Phyllode is the modification of a leaf, in which the petioles become flattened and perform the function of a leaf.

Scales are non-green and do not take part in photosynthesis.
