Answer»

Right answer is (d) An axillary bud is present at the end of every leaflet

To explain: Simple LEAVES are those leaves that are either ENTIRE or incised without touching the mid-rib. Compound leaves are those leaves in which incisions reach the mid-rib breaking the lamina into leaflets called as ‘PINNATE’. In palmate compound leaves, leaflets are attached at a COMMON point. An axillary bud is present at the end of every leaf.
