Answer 1

The correct option is D The small plant survived on the food stored in the stem and roots

When a goat eats all the leaves of a small plant. Still new leaves could be seen sprouting in the plant again. This is just because the small plant survived on the food stored in the stem and roots. It might have undergone gaseous exchange through lenticels on stem.
