Solution
The correct option is A Allium
A bulb is a short stem with fleshy leaves or leaf bases that function as food storage organs during dormancy. A bulb's leaf bases also known as scales contain food reserves to enable the plant to survive adverse conditions. Tunicate bulbs have dry, membranous outer scales that protect the fleshy scales. Allium, Hippeastrum, Narcissus, and Tulipa all have tunicate bulbs. Non-tunicate bulbs such as Lilium and Fritillaria species lack the protective tunic and have looser scales.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
