Solution

The correct option is B Nodes
The stem is the ascending part of the axis bearing branches, leaves, flowers and fruits.
The stem bears nodes and internodes. The region of the stem where leaves arise are called nodes, while internodes are the portion between two nodes.
Apex is the growing end or tip. Shoot apex is where the shoot grows in length and leaf apex is the tip of a leaf.
