Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Mesophyll is well differentiated into Palisade and spongy parenchyma cells

Easiest explanation: Stomata is present both on abaxial and adaxial epidermis. Mesophyll is undifferentiated. Vascular bundles are seen in veins and mid-rib and are surrounded by thick walled bundle sheath. Most of the cells are parenchyma cells.
