Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only upper surface of leaf

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A. Only upper surface of leaf šŸ“š Explanation: In floating plants like the lotus, the stomata are located only on the upper surface of the leaf. This allows the plant to breathe and release moisture directly into the air. If the stomata were on the bottom, they would be submerged in water and unable to function. This is a unique adaptation of aquatic plants to manage their gas exchange while floating.
