    The correct answer is B. change lumine to luminescent.

    We need an adjective in front of the word appendage and lumine is not an adjective. It is a verb, a rather obsolete verb, which means the same as to illuminate, to brighten up. On the other hand, luminescent is an adjective, and it means producing light.
