The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Venation**: Venation refers to the arrangement of veins in a leaf. There are two primary types of venation: reticulate and parallel. 2. **Identifying Reticulate Venation**: Reticulate venation is characterized by an irregular distribution of veins that form a network-like pattern. This type of venation is commonly found in dicotyledonous plants (dicots). 3. **Examples of Reticulate Venation**: Common examples of plants that exhibit reticulate venation include: - Rose - Tulsi - Hibiscus - Papaya 4. **Identifying Parallel Venation**: In contrast, parallel venation features veins that run parallel to each other. This type of venation is typically found in monocotyledonous plants (monocots). 5. **Examples of Parallel Venation**: Examples of plants with parallel venation include: - Banana - Grass - Various grains 6. **Conclusion**: Based on the characteristics of venation, we can conclude that reticulate venation is generally found in dicot plants, while parallel venation is found in monocot plants. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that venation is generally reticulate in dicot plants. ---
