Solution
The correct option is C Only statement 1 is correct
A shed leaf is a dead remain of the plant body. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria will act upon it and break it down into simple nutrients. These nutrients mix with the soil and are absrobed by plants during photosynthesis.
If we observe a shed leaf after 4 days, it will seem to have lost its form and disappeared. But, in relaity, it has just decomposed.
