While surveying plants in the jungles of Borneo, you come across a flowering plant that you have never seen before. You examine a flower closely and you see that it is radially symmetric, has organs arranged in a spiral phyllotaxy and it has many stamens. Based on your knowledge of flowering plant lineages you conclude that a. the plant must be a basal angiosperm b. the plant must be a Magnoliid c. the plant could be a monocot or a eudicot d. the plant could be a basal angiosperm or a Magnoliid e. the plant must be a monocot
