The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Classification of Angiosperms**: - Angiosperms, or flowering plants, are divided into two main categories: dicotyledonous (dicots) and monocotyledonous (monocots). - The primary distinction between these two groups is based on the number of cotyledons present in the seeds. 2. **Identifying Cotyledons**: - Dicotyledons have **two cotyledons** in their seeds. - Monocotyledons have **one cotyledon** in their seeds. 3. **Observing Leaf Venation**: - The arrangement of veins in the leaves can help identify whether a plant is a dicot or monocot. - Dicot leaves typically exhibit **reticulated venation** (net-like pattern). - Monocot leaves show **parallel venation**. 4. **Examining the Root System**: - Dicots usually have a **tap root system**, where the primary root is long-lived. - Monocots typically have a **fibrous root system**, where roots emerge from the base of the stem in a bunch. 5. **Analyzing Pollen Grain Structure**: - The pollen grains of dicots have **three germ pores** (tricolpate condition). - The pollen grains of monocots have **one germ pore** (monocolpate condition). 6. **Evaluating the Options**: - Given the options, we need to identify which plant is a dicot. - The only option that fits the characteristics of a dicot is **mango**, which has two cotyledons. 7. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question "A dicot is" is **mango**.
