Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In sugarcane, the fourth fully developed leaf from the top is most appropriate for the total tissue test. The fully developed leaf will show the exact nutrient values in the plant and give more accurate values.
A tissue test through leaf analysis is done to assess the nutrient need of the plant.
