Solution

The correct option is B Axillary bud
The axillary bud (or lateral bud) is an embryonic shoot located in the axil of a leaf. Each bud has the potential to form shoots and may be specialized in producing either vegetative shoots (stems and branches) or reproductive shoots (flowers).

So, the correct answer is 'Axillary bud'.
