None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Number of flower parts–If you count the number of petals, stamens, or other floral parts, you will find that monocot flowers tend to have a number of parts that is divisible by three, usually three or six. Dicot flowers on the other hand, tend to have parts in multiples of four or five (four, five, ten, etc.).

Detailed explanation-2: -Dicots usually have four, five, ten or numerous stamens.

Detailed explanation-3: -1)The number of petals is different in monocot and dicot flowers. The monocot flowers are trimerous, which means they have either 3 petals or the number of petals are multiple of three, example a monocot plant can have 12 petals as it is a multiple of three.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most common garden plants, shrubs and trees, and broad-leafed flowering plants such as magnolias, roses, geraniums, and hollyhocks are dicots. Dicots typically also have flower parts (sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils) based on a plan of four or five, or multiples thereof, although there are exceptions.
