Solution

The correct option is A Bamboos (Dendrocalamus)
Bamboos are members of the grass (Poaceae) family. Bamboos are often called as tree grasses because of their large, woody, branched stems but bamboos grow very differently from true trees and do not produce actual wood. It actually is not a real tree. It is a grass with wood characteristics. This is why it is called as woody grass.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
