Leaves and buds are attached at
A
internodes
B
axils
C
nodes
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The stem is divided into nodes (points where leaves are or were attached) and internodes (the length of the stem between nodes). The leaves and stem together are called the shoot. Shoots can be separated into long shoots and short shoots on the basis of the distance between buds (internode…

Detailed explanation-2: -The leaf is attached to the stem at the node. The area between leaves is called an internode. At the node, just above where the leaf is attached, there is always a side bud called the lateral bud. On the outside of both terminal and lateral buds are small protective structures called bud scales.

Detailed explanation-3: -A node is an area on a stem where buds are located (figure 6). It is a site of great cellular activity and growth. It is here that small buds develop into leaves, stems or flowers.

Detailed explanation-4: -The petiole is a stalk that attaches a leaf to the plant stem.

Detailed explanation-5: -Nodes are the points on a stem where the buds, leaves, and branching twigs originate. They are crucial spots on the plant where important healing, structural support, and biological processes take place.
