Solution

The correct option is B Baobab
The Baobab or bottle tree (Adansonia digitata) is native to Africa and has a large, swollen trunk. The common name is due to its resemblance to a bottle that comes from the enlarged base and more slender upper growth in these trees. Baobabs are impressive not only for their trunk enlargement but for their overall size and growth form. A tree 60 feet tall can have a spread of more than 100 feet and a 35-foot trunk diameter.
