Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The petiole, rachis and the stalks of the leaflets in Clematis are sensitive to contact and can coil around the support to help the plant in climbing.
In whole leaf tendril, the whole leaf is modified into a tendril for climbing.
The leaf apices of Gloriosa superba are greatly elongated to function like the tendrils.
