Choose an answer

A.Fern
B.Vine
C.Moss
D.Ivy
Hint: It's a word with 3 letters, starting with "I".

Answer

Ivy

Why this is the answer

"IVY" starts with letters that sound like its own name, ends in "Y" (sounding like "why," a question word), and as a climbing plant it can strangle and kill the trees it wraps around.
