Solution
The correct option is D Asparagus
When thick fleshy Asparagusspears grow, flat green leaflike structures develop in the axils of the scales leaves. These are cladodes. Cladodes are green branches of limited growth (usually one internode) which have taken up the functions of photosynthesis. True leaves are reduced to scales or spines. Asparagusis a herbaceous, perennial plant rich in asparagine amino acids and thus called as asparagus.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
