Solution

The correct option is C Citrus
Compound leaves are of two types, namely pinnately compound leaves and palmately compound leaves. In palmately compound leaf, the leaflets are arranged at the tip of the petiole. It is further divided into 5 types depending upon the number of leaflets present at the tip of the petiole. In unifoliate, there is only one terminal leaflet is attached at the top of petiole. Example includes Citrus. In bifoliate, two leaflets are attached side by side at the terminal end of petiole. Example includes Balanites roxburghii. In trifoliate, three terminal leaflets are attached at the terminal end of petiole. Example includes Aegle marmelos. In quadrifoliate, four leaflets are attached to the tip of petiole. Example includes Paris quadrifolia. In multifoliate, five or more leaflets are present at the tip of petiole in the form of fingers of the palm. Example includes Bombax malabarica.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Citrus.'
