Answer: B

Monocots differ from the dicots In the structural features of the leaves, the stems, roots, and flowers. The differences start from the very beginning of the plant's life cycle: the seed. Monocots have one cotyledon, while dicots have two. When it comes to leaves, monocots have narrow leaves with the typical parallel leaf veins. Dicots have broad leaves with a network of netted leaf veins (branching).
