Solution

The correct option is B Quiver tree
Quiver trees (Aloe dichotoma) also known as kokerboom are species of aloe indigenous to South Africa, specifically in the Northern Cape region and Namibia. The tree is known as Quiver tree because branches and bark of the tree are used by Kalahari San Bushmen to make quivers for their arrows, hence the name.
