Which plant exhibits opposite leaf arrangement?

Explanation:
Opposite leaf arrangement means two leaves arise from the same point on the stem directly opposite each other. Guava exhibits this pattern, with leaves paired at each node facing opposite directions, giving the clear opposite arrangement. The other plants listed typically show leaves arranged one per node along the stem (alternate arrangement). China rose usually has single leaves at successive nodes, neem leaves are arranged alternately along the branch, and silk cotton leaves are also arranged alternately (even though the leaf is compound, the leaf unit isn’t in opposite pairs).
