Observe the following image and choose the option which correctly describes A and B

Options

  1. AA is the juvenile leaf while B is the mature leaf in larkspur
  2. BA is the mature leaf while B is the juvenile leaf in larkspur
  3. CA is the leaf in terrestrial habitat while B is the leaf in aquatic habitat in buttercup
  4. DA is the leaf in aquatic habitat while B is the leaf in terrestrial habitat in buttercup

Correct answer

C. A is the leaf in terrestrial habitat while B is the leaf in aquatic habitat in buttercup

Step-by-step solution

A is the leaf in terrestrial habitat while B is the leaf in aquatic habitat in buttercup. The difference in shapes of leaves produced in air and those produced in water in buttercup also represent the heterophyllous development due to environment. In cotton, coriander and larkspur, the leaves of the juvenile plant are different in shape from those in mature plants. This phenomenon of difference in leaf structure is called heterophylly. The ability of plants to follow different pathways in response to environment or
