Options:

Parallel venation

Reticulate venation

Compound venation

Dichotomous venation

Correct Answer:

Parallel venation

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) -Parallel venation

The arrangement of veins and the veinlets in the lamina of leaf is termed as venation. When the veinlets form a network, the venation is termed as reticulate . When the veins run parallel to each other within a lamina, the venation is termed as parallel. Leaves of dicotyledonous plants generally possess reticulate venation, while parallel venation is the characteristic of most monocotyledons.
