The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which plant has oblique branches arising from the underground part of the main stem, leading to the formation of leafy shoots, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: - The question describes a plant that has oblique branches coming from the underground part of the main stem, which then emerge from the soil to produce leafy shoots. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: - **Oblique branches**: These are branches that grow at an angle rather than straight up. - **Underground part of the main stem**: This refers to the portion of the stem that is below the soil surface. - **Leafy shoots**: These are new growths that develop leaves. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Banana and Mint**: - Banana does have underground stems (rhizomes) that can produce leafy shoots. Mint, however, grows through lateral branches that do not fit the description of oblique branches. - **Option B: Chrysanthemum and Pineapple**: - Both of these plants have underground structures that can produce shoots above ground, fitting the description well. - **Option C: Mint and Jasmine**: - Similar to the first option, mint does not have oblique branches, and jasmine does not fit the description either. - **Option D: Strawberry**: - Strawberries spread through runners, which do not match the description of oblique branches from the underground stem. 4. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing the options, the best fit for the description provided in the question is **Chrysanthemum and Pineapple**. Both of these plants exhibit the growth pattern described. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **Chrysanthemum and Pineapple**. ---
