Solution

The correct option is B Monocots
  • Based on the orientation of the leaves to the main axis of the plant, and to the direction of sunlight, the leaves of angiosperms are either isobilateral or dorsiventral.
  • While the dorsiventral leaves are net-veined and born perpendicular to the sunlight at an angle with the stem, the isobilateral leaves are parallel-veined with stomata present on both sides and orient themselves parallel to the main axis and sunlight.
  • Isobilateral leaves are characteristic features of many monocotyledons.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
