Solution

The correct option is B Simple leaf
A simple leaf has a single leaf blade or lamina inserted into the petiole. It may have incisions but these incisions do not divide the blade into leaflets. It shows the presence of an axillary bud at its axil. For example mango.
Thus, Option B is correct.
