Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is c) China Rose

Explanation:

The leaf with at least one other color besides green is called a variegated leaf, and the colors most commonly found on variegated leaves are yellow, white, and cream. These colors can be found on the leaf’s edge or appear in stripes, spots, patches, or veins on the leaf. It indicates the absence of chlorophyll pigment on colored patches of leaves other than green, and the areas of color are uneven or irregular in shape. Coleus and croton are plants with variegated leaves which are partly white and partly green. Money plants also have variegated leaves, with patches of white color.

There are different causes of variegation -

1. Pigmentary - Sometimes, the green pigment (chlorophyll) in leaves is masked by other colorful pigments and causes zones of different colors in leaves.  
2. Propagation - It is a method of crossing or breeding between two different species that lead to preserving the tissues from both species of plants.  
3. Pathological - The plant is infected by viruses, and the leaf gets patterned as a result of infection. Sometimes, due to nutritional deficiency, leaves become colorless and appear variegated.
