Solution

The correct option is D
Statement A: False; Statement B: True

The first statement says that the lemon tree is a herb whose branches arise from the base of the stem.

Now, do you think it is a true statement? Well, it is not.

Because lemon is a shrub whose branches arise from the base of the stem and here it is given as a herb which makes this a false statement.

And branches of all trees arise higher up on the trunk which makes statement 2 true.
