The correct answer is Garlic.

Key Points

Monocot plants are flowering plants (angiosperms) that have fibrous roots and are recognized by the single cotyledon, or seed leaf, within the seed.
Cotyledons refer to the first leaf that emerges when a seed germinates.
They help in providing the nutrition that is required by the germinating seed.
They have seeds that are protected by ovary or fruit and Monocot seeds cannot be split into two, example: wheat, corn, rice, etc.
Garlic is a Monocot plant as it also has a single leaf when it begins to sprout.
In monocots, the single shield-like cotyledon is also known as scutellum.

Additional Information

On the other hand, Dicots are plants that have two leaves when they begin to sprout.
Carrot, Daisy and Rose are all dicotyledonous plants.
The seedlings of these plants contain two cotyledons.
