Solution

The correct option is D Oak
Dicots have tap roots while monocot plants have fibrous roots. Dicots show secondary growth and produce thick stems, while monocots do not. So, naturally, the oak tree is a dicot and has the tap root system.

Banana, grass, or lily plants do not show secondary growth. They are monocots, and so have fibrous roots.
