Solution

The correct option is A Mesophyll.
The mesophyll is a soft spongy material located between the upper and lower epidermal surfaces in the leaves. Cells of the mesophyll make up the bulk of internal leaf tissue and are the major site of photosynthesis in a plant by virtue of containing a large number of chloroplasts.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Mesophyll'.
