Question:
Identify the given diagrams and mark the correct option. A, D are compound while B, C are simple leaves
A, D are compound while B, C are simple leaves
A, B are simple while C, D are compound leaves
A, B are compound while C, D are simple leaves
A, D are simple while B, C are compound leaves
Solution:
Correct option is B. A, D are simple while B, C are compound leaves. A simple leaf is a single leaf that is never divided into smaller leaflet units. It is always attached to a twig by its petiole. The compound leaf is a leaf whose leaflets are attached to the middle vein (rachis) but have their own stalks. Hence, A, D are compound while B, C are simple leaves. So, the correct answer is 'A, D are compound while B, C are simple leaves'.
