A Correct answer
Explanation

Suckers originate from axillary buds located at nodes, which can develop into new aerial shoots that emerge from the base of the plant. They are lateral branches, not arising from terminal buds or stem tips. While they do arise from nodes, the most specific answer is axillary bud since that's the meristematic tissue that actually gives rise to the sucker.
