Solution

The correct option is B Sugarcane
Stilt roots arise from basal nodes of the stem near the soil. They grow obliquely and enter the soil, support the plant body against the wind, just like the ropes of a tent. These are also meant for mechanical support. Stilt roots are found in sugarcane. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
