Solution

The correct option is A Smilax
Leaves of some plants have lateral appendages on either side of leaf base, known as stipules. If stipules are present in leaf, it is called as stipulated leaf. If it is absent then leaf is called as exstipulated. In Smilax, stipules are modified into tendril like structure called as tendrillar stipules. This tendrils help plants in climbing.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
