AUniform mesophyll layer on both sides equally
BDistinct palisade above + spongy parenchyma below
CStomata on the upper epidermis only (top)
DNo stomata anywhere on the leaf surface

Correct answer: B. Distinct palisade above + spongy parenchyma below
DORSIVENTRAL leaf: upper PALISADE PARENCHYMA (densely packed, photosynthesis) + lower SPONGY parenchyma (air spaces). Stomata mainly on LOWER (abaxial) surface. Monocot isobilateral leaves have uniform mesophyll + stomata on both sides.
