Rhizome is a modified subterranean stem of a plant that is usually found underground, often sending out roots and shoots from its nodes. Commercial bananas are seedless and propagated exclusively by vegetative means. The banana has a reduced underground stem, called as the rhizome, which bears several buds. Each of these buds sprouts and forms its own pseudostem and a new bulbous rhizome. These daughter plants are called as suckers. Banana is mostly propagated by rhizomes and suckers.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
