The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the tendrils of grapevine, we need to analyze the options provided and understand the characteristics of tendrils in plants. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Structure**: Tendrils are specialized structures in climbing plants that help them attach to supports. They can be modified stems or leaves. 2. **Identify the Options**: The options given are: - a) Modified floral bars - b) Modified axillary bars - c) Modified terminal bars - d) Modified apical bars 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option a (Modified floral bars)**: Floral bars are related to flowers, and tendrils do not serve a floral function. - **Option b (Modified axillary bars)**: Axillary buds are located in the leaf axil, but tendrils are not primarily derived from these buds. - **Option c (Modified terminal bars)**: Terminal buds are located at the tip of the stem. In grapevines, the tendrils are indeed modified from these terminal buds to assist in climbing. - **Option d (Modified apical bars)**: Apical refers to the topmost part of the plant, which is similar to terminal; however, the correct terminology in this context is "terminal." 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Option c: modified terminal bars**. This means that the tendrils of grapevine are modified structures that arise from the terminal buds of the plant. ### Final Answer: Tendrils of grapevine are **modified terminal bars** (Option c). ---
