Answer:

The answer will be A i.e. both assertion and reason are correct and and the reason given is its correct explanation.

Explanation:

Tendrils of pea plants are modifies leaves so that the plant can cling to nearby walls for support.

The thorns ( it's not mentioned but I guess that's what it is..) are also modification of leaves to help reduce the loss of water in plants like cactus..

Therefore both of these have similar origin but different functions and hence are homologous.

Hope it helps..
