Answer 1

The correct option is B (ii) and (iv) are correct but (i) and (iii) are incorrect

A bud is present in the axil of petiole in both simple and compound leaves, but not in the axil of leaflets of the compound leaf.

In Australian Acacia, and not in Alstonia, the petioles expand, become green and synthesize food.
