Solution

The correct option is C Grass leaf
When the leaf base is broad and surrounds the stem such structure is called as sheathing leaf base and additional outgrowth between lamina and leaf base is called as ligule. Such characters are mainly present in monocot leaves e.g., grass.
So, the correct answer is 'Grass leaf'
