What is interveinal chlorosis?
A
Yellowing of leaves between green veins
B
Darkening of leaves between green veins
C
Small developing leaves
D
Removal of veins in a leaf
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: -Chlorosis is a complete yellowing of the leaf due to lower than normal amounts of Chlorophyll. When the veins are green and the area between the veins are yellow, this is properly termed interveinal chlorosis.

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.
