Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Node

• Node: The leaves arise in the regions of the plant known as the plant nodes and are therefore the point of attachment of the leaves.
• The region of the plant between two nodes is known as the internode.
• The angle between the upper surface of the leaf and the stem from which it arises is known as the axil.
• The petiole is the stalk which attaches the leaf to the stem.

So, the correct option is 'Node'.
