The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the occurrence of finely dissected leaves in specific types of plants. We need to identify which type of plant has this characteristic. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: The options provided are: - Free floating plants - Rooted floating leaf plants - Submerged plants - Emerged plants 3. **Defining Finely Dissected Leaves**: Finely dissected leaves are characterized by their intricate, feather-like structure. This dissection typically extends to the midrib of the leaf. 4. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - **Free Floating Plants**: These plants float on the surface of the water and usually have broader leaves. - **Rooted Floating Leaf Plants**: These plants have leaves that float on the surface but are rooted in the substrate; they also do not typically have finely dissected leaves. - **Submerged Plants**: These plants are entirely underwater, and their leaves are finely dissected to adapt to the aquatic environment. This dissection helps reduce resistance in water and allows for better light capture. - **Emerged Plants**: These plants have leaves that are above the water surface and do not typically exhibit finely dissected leaves. 5. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **submerged plants**, as they are the ones that exhibit finely dissected leaves. **Final Answer**: Finely dissected leaves occur in **submerged plants**. ---
