A
Gymnosperm
B
Monocot
C
Dicot
D
Nonvascular plant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eudicots. Eudicots, or true dicots, are characterized by the presence of two cotyledons in the developing shoot. Veins form a network in leaves, while flower parts come in four, five, or many whorls. Vascular tissue forms a ring in the stem whereas in monocots, vascular tissue is scattered in the stem.

Detailed explanation-2: -Angiosperms (flowering plants) whose embryos have a single cotyledon are grouped as monocots, or monocotyledonous plants; most embryos with two cotyledons are grouped as eudicots, or eudicotyledonous plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -A dicot will have a leaf with a midline with veins branching off. Show them a leave and identify the midline, another name for this is the midrib. Monocot flowers will have petals in multiples of threes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Angiosperms can have either one or two cotyledons, allowing them to be classified based on this trait. Monocotyledons (monocots) are angiosperms that only have one cotyledon.

Detailed explanation-5: -Gymnosperms are dicots, all angiosperms are monocots.
