Answer

Leaves
C.
Swollen stem
D.

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The edible portion of cabbage is the head.
You can eat the cabbage core and stem which are highly nutritious and refreshingly crunchy.
Cabbage is a biennial plant grown as an annual vegetable crop for its dense-leaved heads. Heads average between 0.5 and 4 kg (1 and 8 lb), with fast-growing, earlier-maturing varieties producing smaller heads. Most cabbages have thick, alternating leaves, with margins that range from wavy or lobed to highly dissected; some varieties have a waxy bloom on the leaves.
