Solution

The correct option is D Because first it come to tuber as sugar solution then it is stored as starch
Sugars are synthesized in leaves and stored in other parts like seed, root, stem. In a potato, sugars are synthesized in leaves and then transported to tuber for storage. Sugars are usually synthesized in hexose form but translocated as sucrose which are soluble in water and stored as starch in tuber.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
