Solution

The correct option is A Sessile
Petiole connects the lamina or the leaf blade with the stem. It is small and green structure, the upper portion of which continues in the lamina forming midrib while lower portion forms the leaf base. Leaves lacking petiole are called sessile. Rachis is the main axis of an inflorescence.
