A
Solution:

When the incisions of the lamina reach up to the midrib breaking it into a number of leaflets, the leaf is called compound leaf. A bud is present in the axil of petiole in both simple and compound leaves, but not in the axil of leaflets of the compound leaf. The compound leaves may arise at the top of the petiole.
