Solution
The correct option is C palmately compound
When the lamina is entire and not divided, the leaf is said to be simple.
When the lamina has incisions that divide the leaf into leaflets, the leaf is said to be a compound leaf. 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.
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.
Bipinnately compound leaf is a type of pinnately compound leaf. Here, the primary rachis divides forming many secondary rachis on which the leaflets are present.
