Solution

The correct option is A Almond
In agriculture, the majority of the biomass produced comes from monocots. These include not only major grains (rice, wheat, maize, etc.), but also forage grasses, sugar cane, and the bamboos. Other economically important monocot crops include various palms (Arecaceae), bananas (Musaceae), gingers and their relatives, turmeric and cardamom (Zingiberaceae) and the onions and garlic family (Amaryllidaceae). Additionally, most of the horticultural bulbs, plants cultivated for their blooms, are monocots, such as lilies, daffodils, irises, amaryllis, cannas, bluebells and tulips. Maize is a flowering plant and not a dicot or pteridophyte. Almond is a dicot as it has two cotyledons in their seeds.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
