Solution

The correct option is A Calophyllum
Reticulate venation is a characteristic of dicots while parallel venation is of monocots. But there are some exceptions as some dicot plants show parallel venation, e.g., Calophyllum, Corymbium, etc., and reticulate venation is also shown by some monocot plant e.g., Alocasia, Smilax, etc.
So,the correct answer is " Calophyllum ".
