Solution

The correct option is E Palisade mesophyll
The palisade mesophyll lies below the upper epidermis and above the spongy parenchyma in dicots. The palisade tissue has more number of chloroplasts compared to other tissues. This is the site of light reaction. The higher concentration of chloroplasts is the reason that the upper surface of the leaf is darker compared to the lower surface.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'Palisade mesophyll'.
