Answer

Correct option: B.
Swollen leaf bases
Bulbs are underground buds with reduced stems on which short and fleshy storage leaves grow.
Thick scales enclose these leaves.
Bulbs are produced by monocotyledon plants in which the usual structure is modified for storage and reproduction.
The continuous sheathing leaf bases are called bulb scales.
The outer scales are dry and thin and the inner scales are generally fleshy and contain reserve food material.
