Upper leaves which show interveinal chlorosis probably suffer from:
A
An iron deficiency
B
A sulfur deficiency
C
A nitrogen deficiency
D
lack of water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interveinal Chlorosis is a yellowing of the tissue between the veins of a leaf due to the decline of chlorophyll production and activity. A give-away tell of interveinal chlorosis is that the veins generally retain their green color, hence the name, interveinal.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary symptom of iron deficiency is interveinal chlorosis, the development of a yellow leaf with a network of dark green veins. In severe cases, the entire leaf turns yellow or white and the outer edges may scorch and turn brown as the plant cells die.

Detailed explanation-3: -If a plant is iron-deficient, the symptoms are visible in its newest leaves and the interveinal areas show chlorosis while the veins remain green. Chlorosis resulting from nitrogen-deficiency display old leaves that are yellow, new leaves that are green and the veins are the same color as the rest of the leave.
