Solution
The correct option is C Rhizome
In weak-stemmed plants, leaf or a part of leaf gets modified into green threadlike structures called tendrils which help in climbing around the support. Leaves are reduced to spines which are protective in function and prevent transpiration. In some plants, the leaf is modified into a bladder, to trap insects. Rhizomes are thickened stem that grows horizontally under the soil.
