Explanation:

• Palms are monocots. Monocots have leaves with parallel venation (as seen in the palm leaf image), one cotyledon in their seeds, etc. Dicots have net - like venation. Angiosperms include both monocots and dicots (so it's too general). While palms are flowering plants (angiosperms), “monocots” is a more specific classification.

Palm trees are monocots.
