Solution

The correct option is C parallel
In leaves of some plants, veins arising from the midrib are parallel to each other. This arrangement of veins is known as parallel venation. These parallel lines do not intersect and maintain a uniform distance among themselves. This type of venation is observed in monocot plants.
E.g. Banana, crop plants, etc.
