Corn develops from a seedling with a single cotyledon, displays parallel veins on its leaves, and produces monosulcate pollen. It is most likely a monocot. Correct option is B

Explanation:

A seed is a structure which develops from the ovule after fertilization. a seed consists of an embryo and one or two cotyledons. Plants whose seeds contains only one seed leaf are called MONOCOTYLEDONEOUS plants,

the corn plant is an example of a monocot. The pericarp is fused with the testa. A longitudinal section through the seed shows a large area of endosperm which is filled with starch and a little protein. The remaining portion is occupied by the cotyledon and embryo. the plumule sheath of the embryo during germination releases the plumule which becomes the first foilage leaf with PARALLEL VEINS. i hope this helps, thanks!

me i can you if you would like.
