D. Both A and B

Answer 1

Hint: Rheo leaves are the stout perennial herbaceous plant and there are many common names of this plant. The stem is thick and unbranched of Rheo leaf. The upper surface of this plant is dark green and the lower surface is purple.

Complete answer:
There are many names of Rheo leaf and the common name are oyster plant or the boat of moses. When Rheo leaves are boiled, these leaves will shrink as there will be rise in the temperature and the solute content within the leaves will fall out during heating which is due to osmosis. Their cells are destroyed or they are set to die by heating or boiling up even more.

If we look at options now,
> Option A - Oyster plant. It is the correct option as it is one of the common names of Rheo leaf due to which we can consider this option.

> Option B - Boat of moses. This option also seems correct as boat of moses is also one of the common names of Rheo leaf due to which we can consider this option too.

> Option C - Fenugreek. Fenugreek is the common name of Trigonella Foenum and it is clove like herb which is native to the Mediterranean region, southern Europe and western Asia. But in the option the common name of Rheo leaf has been asked and fenugreek is not the common name of it. Therefore, this option is incorrect and it gets eliminated.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: Rheo contains rhoeo discolor and rhoeo spathacea are plants of many names. Depending on where you live, you can call this plant moses-in-the-cradle, moses-in-a-basket, boat lily and oyster plant.
