• Reticulate venation is found in dicot leaves, while in monocot. Reticulate venation is found in dicot leaves, while in monocot leaves venation is of parallel type.
•  Monocot having reticulate venation, e.g., Smilax, Colocasia, Dioscorea.
• Hence, The monocotyledons showing reticulate venation is Smilax and Dioscorea.
• So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B

• Parallel venation refers to a pattern in the veins of a leaf where the secondary veins run parallel to each other off of a central, perpendicular primary vein. 
• The best example for parallel venation is banana. Some of the monocotyledons like bajra, sorghum, maize, wheat, rice, grasses, coconut, palm and then dicots like mango also the examples of parallel venation.
• Hence, The monocotyledonous leaf shows Parallel venation.
• So, the correct answer is 'Parallel'.

Venation is the arrangement of veins in a leaf. In reticulated venation, veins are interconnected and form a web-like network. There is a prominent vein called the midrib from which many small veins arise which finally form a net-like structure in the lamina. This kind of venation is seen in dicots. for example, mango.

If the stomata and waxy cuticle are present on submerged leaves, they may disturb the buoyancy of the leaf. Hence, the stomata are found in the upper surface of the submerged plant. The stomata in the leaf are open majority of the time because there is no need for water conservation.

The phenomenon of arrangement of veins on the leaf is called as venation. There are two types venation, namely reticulate venation and parallel venation. Reticulate venation involves irregular distribution of veins to form a network. Examples of plants showing reticulate venation include rose, tulsi, hibiscus, papaya, ficus. Parallel venation involves the veins running parallel to each other. Examples of plants showing parallel venation include grains, banana, canna, grass, musa, Zea (maize). Leaves of monocot plants show parallel venation and leaves of dicot plants show reticulated venation.

Venation is the arrangement of veins on the leaves. It is basically of 2 types, reticulate and parallel. Reticulate venation involves irregular distribution of veins to form a network. Parallel venation involves the veins running parallel to each other. In pinnate or unicostate venation, the lamina has a single principal vein or midrib. It produces lateral veins. In palmate or multicostate venation, lamina has more than one principal vein. In Musa, the venation is unicostate parallel.
