Answer:

D. An axillary bud is present at the end of every leaflet

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.
