The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a sensitive, thread-like structure that can coil around a support. We need to identify which of the given options fits this description. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Spring**: This is typically a coiled metal device used for tension or compression. It does not fit the description of a sensitive, thread-like structure. - **Tendril**: This is a slender, thread-like structure found in climbing plants. Tendrils are sensitive and can coil around supports to help the plant climb. - **Rachis**: This term refers to the main axis of a compound leaf, not a structure that coils around supports. - **Twinner**: This refers to a type of climbing plant but does not specifically describe a structure that coils. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: Among the options, the only structure that is sensitive, thread-like, and capable of coiling around a support is the **tendril**. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **tendril**. ---
