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
Myschool take note.

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
