Answer: Option C
Solution:
The sympodial Orchid is Cattleya.
A sympodial orchid has a stem that grows pretty close to the ground, although its flower spikes are sometimes mistaken for stems. From this low-growing stem, which is called a rhizome, sprout pseudobulbs, one growing from the base of the previous one.
Cattleya is a genus of sympodial orchids.
