Solution

The correct option is D

All the above


The venation of the leaf can give us the idea of the pattern of the vascular bundles inside. Eg: The main vein in the dicot houses the biggest vascular bundles. Similarly, the shape of the leaf in monocots decide the type of epidermis. In Dicots upper layer is exposed to the sun and therefore it has a different kind of epidermis compared to the lower side. In monocots, the leaf is vertical and therefore the epidermis on both sides have the same anatomy.
