C Correct answer
Explanation

Palmyra (Borassus flabellifer) has palmate leaves with veins that radiate outward from the base. At the leaf tips, these veins spread apart or diverge rather than converge, making 'divergence at the tip' the correct characteristic. Option A incorrectly describes reticulate venation as 'retivulate', and option B describes a pattern seen in grass leaves, not palm leaves.
