    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : All the green leaves of a plant are collectively called foliage. A typical foliage leaf consists of three parts- leaf base (hypopodium), petiole (mesopodium) and lamina (epipodium). Lamina is the terminal thin, expanded, green and conspicuous part of the leaf which is specialized to perform photosynthesis. Petiole is a cylindrical or sub cylindrical smooth or grooved stalk of the leaf. Leaf base is the lowermost part of the leaf by which the leaf is joined to the node of the stem.
