Solution

The correct option is A Castor
If more than one prominent vein arises from the base of the leaf blade, it is described as a multicostate condition. If the major veins converge towards the tip, then it is described as multicostate convergent (e.g., Zizyphus), or if they diverge, the venation is described as multicostate divergent (e.g. Cotton and castor). Whereas bamboo has parallel convergent venation and mango has unicostate reticulate. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
