Solution

The correct option is C Sunflower
The type of arrangement where only one leaf arises from each node while the next leaf arises from the successive node in the opposite direction is called alternate arrangement.

Example: Sunflower.

Michigan lily has whorled phyllotaxy i.e.,the type of arrangement where more than two leaves are attached to each node is called whorled phyllotaxy.
Guava and Jasmine show opposite arrangement of leaves i.e., leaves arise at the same node in opposite fashion.
