Solution

The correct option is B
Tendril

Stem or its branches are modified into green thread-like structures called tendrils which are meant for climbing. Stem tendrils develop from axillary buds. They are slender, spirally coiled and help plants climb up structures. They are seen in gourds (cucumber, pumpkins, watermelon) and grapevines.
