Solution

The correct option is C

Moringa


Compound leaves are those leaves which contains many leaflets. These are either pinnate or palmate. In palmate compound leaf, the leaflets arise from the tip of petiole. In pinnate compound leaf, the leaflets arise on either side of the midrib or rachis. In unipinnate, single leaflet is present on either side of the rachis. In bipinnate, unipinnate leaves are present on the either side of the rachis. In tripinnate, single leaflets in the unipinnate leaves is replaced by bipinnate leaves. Example includes Moringa oleifera.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Moringa.'
