Solution

The correct option is C petiole
A leaf can be divided into many parts. The petiole is the part of the leaf which joins it to the stem or branch. It can also be called a leaf stalk. The margin of the leaf is called a leaf blade. Midrib is the thick, long vein in the middle of the leaf. Smaller veins arise from the midrib and spread throughout the leaf.
