The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Dorsiventral Leaves**: Dorsiventral leaves, also known as bifacial leaves, have two distinct surfaces: the upper (adaxial) surface and the lower (abaxial) surface. This structure allows for different functions on each side. 2. **Stomata Location**: In dorsiventral leaves, stomata are small openings that facilitate gas exchange. They are primarily found on the epidermis of the leaf. 3. **Distribution of Stomata**: In dorsiventral leaves, stomata are not evenly distributed. Typically, there are more stomata on the lower epidermis (abaxial surface) compared to the upper epidermis (adaxial surface). 4. **Conclusion on Stomata Presence**: Therefore, in dorsiventral leaves, stomata occur on both layers of the epidermis, but the density is higher on the lower epidermis. 5. **Correct Answer**: The correct option is that stomata occur on both layers of the epidermis. ---
