Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The palmate compound leaf is one in which the petiole bears leaflets at the tip like the fingers of the palm. Citus is actually a palmate compound leaf where the two lateral leaflets have been supressed and only the central leaflet is functional. Such a palmate compound leaf, with one functional leaflet is called unifoliate compound leaf.
