Solution
The correct option is C Alternate and distichous Poaceae is a large family of monocotyledonous flowering plants which are collectively referred to as grasses. In grasses, the leaves are alternate (each leaf arises from a different node on the stem), distichous, exstipulate (stipules are absent), sessile (without stalk). Distichous arrangement is also known as two ranked leaf arrangement in which the leaves on the stem are arranged in two vertical columns on opposite sides of the stem.
So, the correct answer is 'Alternate and distichous'.
