Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, that is, midrib.

Explanation:

The petiole refers to the stalk originating from the plant's stem, which associates the stem to the leaf blade. In the center of the leaf blade is the midrib that refers to an extension of the petiole. It is found in true leaves in the form of a vein running from the base of the leaf to the apex. The prime function of midrib is to maintain the leaf in an upright position and to protect the leaf from the strong winds.
