    A)  heterophylly      

    B)  anisophylly

    C)  opposite decussate

    D)  none of these.

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : The opposite leaves on a plant are generally of the same size but in certain rare cases when they are of unequal size the condition is termed as anisophylly. Heterophylly is a condition where a plant has different leaf forms at different times in its life cycle. This is often induced by environmental factors. Opposite decussate is the arrangement of leaves in which the leaves of a node are at right angles to the leaves of next node, i.e., lower or upper node.
