The correct option is C Bifacial leaf
- In dorsiventral/ dicotyledenous/ bifacial leaf the abaxial epidermis ( Lower surface) generally bears more stomata than the adaxial epidermis (Upper surface). The latter may even lack stomata.
-In an Isobilateral/monocotyledonous leaf, the stomata are present on both the surfaces of epidermis equally.

So, the correct answer is 'Option B- Bifacial leaf'.
