Solution

The correct option is B Cocos nucifera
The coconut tree is in the family of palm trees, and palm trees are monocotyledons. So, Cocos nucifera belongs to Palmae family. It is monocot in nature and its fibres obtained from mesocarp. It is a monocot plant / tree as the seed in side has only one cotyledon. Thus, option B is correct.
Corchorus (jews mallow) is a dicot plant.
Cotton is a dicot plant.
Crotalaria is a dicot plant.
