C
Dicot
D
Nonvascular plant
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monocots have a single cotyledon in their seed, parallel venation in their leaves (Figure 8.1. 2), flower parts in multiples of three (3-merous, see Figure 8.1. 3), and vascular bundles dispersed throughout the stem in concentric circles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of monocot plants are garlic, banana, onion, palm trees, and lilies. These plants are characterized by having one cotyledon.

Detailed explanation-3: -The vascular structures of monocot leaves form parallel veins. Monocot leaves differ from dicot leaves in several ways. First, they tend to be more oblong or linear in shape, and their vascular bundles are organized into veins that originate at the base of the leaf and run parallel to one another.
