Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Cycas trunk is covered with leaves and leaf bases. Cycas trunk is covered with persistent leaf bases and scale leaves, which are found in alternate whorls. Trunks can branch multiple times, thus producing multiple heads of leaves. The leaves are deep semi glossy green and they grow out into a feather-like rosette. The crowded, stiff, narrow leaflets have strongly recurved or revolute edges. The basal leaflets become more like spines.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
