Answer 1

The correct option is A Pinnately compound leaf is found in neem

There are of two types of compound leaves- pinnately and palmately compound leaves. In pinnately compound leaves, a number of leaflets are present on a common axis, the rachis, which represents the midrib of the leaf as in neem. In palmately compound leaves, the leaflets are attached at a common point i.e. at the tip of petiole as in silk cotton. While leaves of china rose is a simple type, not compound leaves.
