Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) An embryonic shoot
Explanation
A plant bud is an embryonic (immature) shoot derived from meristematic tissue.
It is borne terminally on the stem or in the leaf axil and can develop into a leaf, shoot or flower.
It is not a seed, endosperm or a single leaf, since a bud contains undeveloped shoot tissue.
