The major site of photosynthesis in the layer is the palisade parenchyma. The palisade parenchyma is the upper layer of ground tissue in a leaf consisting of elongated cells beneath and perpendicular to the upper epidermis.
Therefore the correct option is A

The palisade cells are the main site of photosynthesis, as they have many more chloroplasts than spongy mesophylls, and also have several adaptions to maximise photosynthetic efficiency

am confused i thought mesophyll parenchyma is the principal site of photosynthesis because it contains the largest number of chloroplast compared to that of palisade parenchyma
