Solution
The correct option is D Trifoliate Erythrina indica and Dolichos lablab have trifoliate leaves. Pinnation is an arrangement of discrete structures such as leaflets, veins, lobes, branches, or appendages arising at multiple points along a common axis. Pinnately compound leaves are trifoliate leaves (also known as trifoliolate or ternate leaves) when the leaf shape characterized by a leaf divided into three leaflets. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
