Solution
The correct option is C Stilt
Screwpine or Pandanus also known as screw palm has stilt roots. Often called as Pandanus palms, these plants are not closely related to palm trees. The species vary in size from small shrubs less than 1 m. Species growing on exposed coastal headlands and along beaches have thick stilt roots- as anchors in the loose sand. Those prop roots emerge from the stem, usually close to but above the ground, which helps to keep the plants upright and secure them to the ground.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
