Solution

The correct option is B Adaxial
Palisade parenchyma is found immediately below the upper epidermis. It is 2 to 3 layered, with compactly arranged tubular cells, rich in parietal chloroplasts. The adaxial surface is the upper surface of a leaf. The abaxial surface is the lower surface of a leaf.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Adaxial'.
