The answer had to be (d) Rapid Cell Divisions in Tendrills cells in contact with the Support.
Tenderils are basically stems, leaves or petiole in a circular, hook-like formation with the primary function of supporting the plant. They are usually formed when some object is obstructing the growth of the plant.
However, the garden pea is only known plant which has leaflets that form tendrillars

The answer is (d) Rapid Cell Divisions in Tendrills cells in contact with the Support.
Tenderils are defined as soft succular stems, leaves or petiole. Tendrils have hook shaped structure and move in a circular fashion and cover like a helix.. Their main function is to provide support to plants and prevent drooping of pods which may hamper further growth and development.
