B Correct answer
Explanation

Phyllotaxy (or phyllotaxis) is the scientific term for the arrangement pattern of leaves on a stem. Venation refers to vein patterns in leaves, vasculature refers to the vascular tissue system, and chemotaxy is not a valid botanical term (likely a distractor). Phyllotaxy specifically describes leaf positioning.
