The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Tendu.

  2. The tendu tree, scientifically known as Diospyros lotus, is native to India and is primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions.
  3. The leaves of this tree are harvested, dried, and used for wrapping the tobacco in the production of bidis, a type of traditional hand-rolled cigarette popular in India.
  4. The leaves are preferred due to their pliability and aroma, which enhance the flavour of the bidi.
