Solution

The correct option is B node
Each ‘eye’ in a potato tuber represents a node. The eyes bear buds which are capable of developing into new plants. These buds give rise to the stem, hence they are not root buds.
Bulbs are stem modification. They are also used as vegetative propagules in plants like garlic, onion, etc.
