How many buds will a compound leaflet with multiple leaflets have?

A compound leaflet typically has one bud at the base of the entire leaflet, which is the structure that produces the leaflets. Each leaf, whether simple or compound, generally has one terminal bud that is responsible for growing and developing the leaf structure, including all of its leaflets. This is distinct from simple leaves that might also have lateral buds but still only have one terminal bud.

In the case of multiple leaflets, while they may appear to have several leaflets, the compound structure is anchored by a single bud. This is key to understanding the nature of how compound leaves develop and the plant's growth patterns. Therefore, the correct answer reflects this fundamental aspect of their anatomy.
