The correct option is C

Onions have swollen underground stems or bulbs that are really large buds with adventitious roots at the base. Most of a bulb consists of fleshy leaves attached to a small, knoblike stem. The edible portion here consists of swollen leaves which are the primary storage tissue consisting of expanded leaf bases.
