Answer:
A. They are examples of monocots
Explanation:
Corn, palay (rice) and sugarcane are all grasses (Poaceae). Orchids are the odd group out. They form their own family (Orchidaceae). But like the grasses they have parallel veins in the leaves, flower sepals and petals in multiples of 3 and seeds which produce a single green leaf. They all belong to the larger group known as Monocotyledons.
