• A. Some monocot leaves
• B. All dorsiventral leaves
• C. All isobilateral leaves
• D. All monocot leaves

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

The correct option is B All dorsiventral leaves

The region present between the upper and lower epidermis of leaves is called mesophyll. It is differentiated into upper palisade and lower spongy parenchyma in dicot leaves or dorsiventral leaves, whereas in monocot leaves or isobilateral leaves, it is undifferentiated and it shows spongy parenchyma.

So, the correct option is ‘All dorsiventral leaves’.
