Solution

The correct option is A Potato
A stolon is a shoot that grows along the ground and produces roots at its nodes. Swollen ends of stolons give rise to tubers. Hence tubers are modified stems that store starch and contain adventitious buds. For example, potato.
So, the correct answer is 'Potato'
