A:gymnosperm and dicot
B:gymnosperm and monocot
C:angiosperm and monocot
D:angiosperm and dicot

Answer :

The best suited group for the mentioned plant is Angiosperms and monocot.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

As mentioned the seed of the plant has one cotyledon and the specific name for these type of plants whose seeds has one cotyledon is called Monocot, Suppose if the seed of the plant has two seeds, It is called dicot.

Hence we can conclude that the mentioned plant comes under monocot and not dicot.  On the other hand, Angiosperms refers to the plants that has flowers with it and gymnosperms usually includes plants without flowers and hence we can classify the plant as Angiosperm and monocot.
