B Correct answer
Explanation

Palm trees are botanically classified as monocots, not trees. True trees are dicots with secondary growth (wood thickening over time). Palm stems don't produce secondary growth - they remain the same diameter once mature. This makes palm trees more closely related to grasses than to oak or maple trees.
