Solution
The correct option is B Mimosoideae The compound leaves which are divided twice are called as bipinnate leaves. The leaflets are arranged along the secondary rachis. Each leaflet is called as a pinnule. In Leguminosae, the leaves are stipulate, nearly always alternate, and range from pinnately or palmately compound to simple. The leaves are predominately bipinnate in Mimosoideae (subfamily of Leguminosae). A pair of lateral appendages, present the base of the petiole, are known as stipules. In Mimosodeae, stipules are spiny and hollow inside that provide shelter to ants.
