The correct option is A Calophyllum
Dicots usually have reticulate venation while monocots have parallel venation. However there are some exceptions, one of them is Calophyllum which is dicot plant having parallel venation and similarly smilax plant is monocot having reticulate venation.
Calophyllumis a genus of tropical flowering plants in the family Calophyllaceae. They are mainly distributed in Asia, with some species also found in Africa, the Americas, Australasia, and the Pacific Islands. Many species are used for their wood, its wood is hard and strong and has been used in construction or boatbuilding. The seeds yield a thick, dark green tamanu oil for medicinal use.
