Correct Answer - c
Monocot leaves are characterised by parallel venation , leaves are isobilateral (both the surfaces equally green) , amphistomatic with dumb bell - shaped guard cells . The upper epidermis possesses groups of larger sized thin walled vaculate cells called bulliform or motor cells. Mesophyll is undifferentiated and consists of isodiametric cells enclosing intercellular spaces. Midrib region does not contain mesophyll and possesses number of parallel vascular bundles.
