Solution

The correct option is B Abaxially
In Dryopteris sori, a group of sporangia covered with indusium are present along the margin of pinnae or leaflets. In it 2-8 sori are borne on the abaxial surface of the mature fronds (sporophylls). They are situated in two rows at the tips of the veinlets in between the midrib and the margins. The sori appear reniform due to the kidney shaped protective thin and membranous covering, called as indusium.
