Solution

The correct option is A Contractile
Thick unbranched roots found in corms and rhizomes of some plants are contractile because the contractile roots continually pull the plants deeper into the ground as the stem elongates so that it remains subterranean or at an appropriate level in the ground.
So, the correct option is 'Contractile'.
