The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify a plant that has leaves used as vegetables and whose seeds are used to produce oil. Let's break down the options provided: 1. **Identify the characteristics of the plant:** - The plant should have edible leaves that can be used as a vegetable. - The seeds of the plant should be used to produce oil. 2. **Evaluate the options:** - **Spinach:** The leaves of spinach are edible, but spinach seeds are not used to produce oil. - **Coconut:** While coconut oil is produced from the fruit, the leaves of the coconut tree are not used as vegetables. - **Cabbage:** Cabbage leaves are edible, but cabbage seeds are not used to produce oil. - **Mustard:** Mustard leaves (also known as mustard greens) are commonly used as a vegetable. Additionally, mustard seeds are used to produce mustard oil. 3. **Conclusion:** - The only plant that meets both criteria (edible leaves and oil production from seeds) is mustard. Therefore, the answer to the question is **mustard**.
