The correct option is C palmately compound leaf
When the leaf lamina divides and forms leaflets, the leaf is said to be compound.
Compound leaves are of two types, pinnately compound leaves and palmately compound leaves.
In pinnately compound leaves, the leaflets are present on a common axis, the rachis, which represents the midrib. For example, in neem.
In palmately compound leaves, the leaflets are attached at a common point i.e., at the tip of the petiole. For example, in silk cotton.
