Detailed Solution

Concept- The modified stem is the potato tuber. Axillary buds can be seen on its surface. A modified, underground stem that is. To keep food, its stolon has been extended. The potato tuber aids in food preservation.
The tuber includes internodes and nodes, much like a typical stem would. Each node, which serves as the eyes, bears a leaf scar. Starting on the end opposite the attachment point to the stolon, the nodes or eyes are spirally organised around the tuber. The terminal bud has the same apical dominance as a typical stem since it is formed at the location furthest from the stolon attachment and tubers.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
