The answer is the first one: Leaf.

Explanation for each option:

  • Leaf: Mesophyll tissue is primarily found in the leaves of plants. It is the inner tissue of a leaf, containing many chloroplasts, and is responsible for photosynthesis. The mesophyll is divided into two layers: the palisade mesophyll and the spongy mesophyll.

  • Stem: While stems contain various tissues such as xylem and phloem, they do not typically contain mesophyll tissue. The primary function of stems is to support the plant and transport nutrients and water.

  • Flower: Flowers are reproductive structures and do not contain mesophyll tissue. They are composed of different tissues specialized for reproduction, such as petals, stamens, and pistils.

  • Root: Roots are responsible for anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. They do not contain mesophyll tissue, as they are not involved in photosynthesis.

In summary, mesophyll tissue is found in the leaf, where it plays a crucial role in photosynthesis.
