The process of leaf senescence can be described in three phases:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of leaf senescence involves initiation of the process, followed by degradation of cellular components and terminating the process. Therefore, option C (initiation, degradation, and termination) is the most accurate description of the phases of leaf senescence. Option A (initiation, elongation, and termination) is not accurate because elongation is not a phase of leaf senescence. Option B (budding, degradation, and termination) is also not accurate because "budding" is not a phase of leaf senescence. Option D (start, middle, and end) is too simplistic and does not accurately describe the phases of leaf senescence.
