Solution

The correct option is B Parallel
Banana trees are monocotyledonous, so have parallel venation. It is a characteristic of all monocots. In parallel venation, veins in the leaves are arranged parallel to each other.

Leaves of dicotyledonous plants possess reticulate venation. In reticulate venation, the main veins of leaf form numerous irregular branches and as a result a net like arrangements is formed.
