Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Palisade cells are plant cells found within the mesophyll in leaves, right below the upper epidermis and cuticle. They are vertically elongated, a different shape from spongy mesophyll cells beneath them in the leaf. Their chloroplasts absorb a major portion of the light energy used by the leaf. Palisade cells occur in dicotyledonous plants and also in the net-veined monocots. The spongy mesophyll are usually ball-shaped with large intercellular spaces but usually contains fewer chloroplasts than the palisade cells. They are also present in dicot leaf.
