Solution
The correct option is A Both A and B Leaves with differentiation of mesophyll into palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma are termed as bifacial/dorsiventral leaves. Both, Eucalyptus and Nerium has dorsiventral-bifacial leaves characterized by the presence of one to four layers of elongated closely packed palisade parenchyma under lower and upper epidermis. Eucalyptus has isobilateral leaves in which palisade parenchyma is present on both sides of the spongy tissue. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
