Solution

The correct option is B False
Trimerous flowers have flower parts, such as petals, sepals, and stamens, in sets of three. Pentamerousdivided into five parts; specifically, having each floral whorl consist of five (or a multiple of five) members. A dicot is a type of flowering plant characterized by its two cotyledons, tetramerous or pentamerous flowers, and net-like leaf veins. In monocots, flowers are trimerous (number of flower parts in a whorl in threes).
So, the correct option, 'False'.
