Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Leaf base is the lowermost part of the leaf by which the leaf is joined to the node of the stem. It protects the young axillary bud. In many legumes it is swollen. The swollen leaf base is known as pulvinus. It is responsible for sleep and shock movements of certain leaves, e.g, Mimosa pudica and Cassia.
