What arrangement does a leaf have if buds are directly across from each other?

Alternate
Opposite
Spiral
Whorled

The correct answer is: Opposite

If buds are directly across from each other on a stem, the arrangement of the leaves is termed "opposite." This means that there is one leaf at each node, and they are positioned directly opposite each other on the stem. This arrangement is distinct from an alternate arrangement where leaves are staggered along the stem, a spiral arrangement where leaves are arranged in a spiral around the stem, and a whorled arrangement where multiple leaves originate from the same point on the stem.
