Dear Student,
You are right. The answer given as (c) is incorrect. The correct answer is option (a).
The rachis is the main axis or midrib which is found in the pinnately compound leaf. It is absent in truly palmately compound leaf. However, rachis is present in the costapalmate leaf which is the intermediate of pinnate and palmate leaf i.e the leaf is partially pinnate and partially palmate.
Regards
