Question

• A. Veins forms a network on the leaf
• B. Veins run parallel to the midrib
• C. Veins run horizontal to the midrib
• D. Veins criss-cross each other in an irregular pattern

Answer 1

The correct option is A Veins forms a network on the leaf

Venation is the arrangement of veins in a leaf. In reticulated venation, veins are interconnected and form a web-like network. There is a prominent vein called the midrib from which many small veins arise which finally form a net like structure in the lamina. This kind of venation is seen in dicots.
