) Identify the classification category that applies to bananas.

• Explanation:
Bananas are classified as monocots. Banana (Musa sp.) is the second most important fruit crop in India next to mango. Its year round availability, affordability, varietal range, taste, nutritive and medicinal value makes it the favourite fruit among all classes of people. It has also good export potential.

• Other Options Explained:
-B. Dicot (डाईकौट): As explained earlier, dicots have two cotyledons in their seeds.
-C. Viviparous (विविपेरस): This term refers to animals that give birth to live young. Bananas are plants and reproduce through seeds, not live birth. So, this option is irrelevant.
