The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of monocots, let's analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option (a): Leaves have reticulate venation.** - In monocots, the leaves typically exhibit **parallel venation**, not reticulate venation. Reticulate venation is a characteristic of dicots. Therefore, this option is **incorrect**. 2. **Option (b): Stems have annual rings.** - Annual rings are formed due to secondary growth, which is common in dicots. Monocots generally do not exhibit secondary growth and thus do not have annual rings. This option is also **incorrect**. 3. **Option (c): Seeds have two storage organs.** - Seeds with two storage organs (cotyledons) are characteristic of dicots. Monocots typically have one cotyledon. Hence, this option is **incorrect**. 4. **Option (d): Stems have scattered conducting strands.** - Monocots are characterized by having scattered vascular bundles in their stems. This is a defining feature of monocots. Therefore, this option is **correct**. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is **(d) Stems have scattered conducting strands**. ---
