The correct option is C
leaf bases.

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