None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Monocots generally have leaves with parallel veins and flower parts in threes or multiples of three-three or six petals and three or six stamens (the male parts of the flower), for example.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular structures of dicot leaves form net-like veins. Dicot leaves are not as linear in shape as monocot leaves, and their vascular structures form net-like veins, instead of parallel ones. This reticulate venation pattern generally has one of two appearances.
