Which of the following patterns resemble the branches of a tree?

Verified Answer
A. Trellis pattern/जालयुक्त नमूना
B. Radial pattern/तिज्यीय नमूना
C. Rectangular pattern / आयताकृति नमूना
D. Dendrite pattern / दुमिका नमूना

Explanation:

A dendritic pattern (Option D) is characterized by a branching structure that strikingly resembles the branches of a tree, where smaller branches diverge from larger ones, much like river systems or nerve cells. This pattern is highly efficient for distributing or collecting resources. Option A, Trellis pattern, is a rectangular pattern formed by intersecting ridges and valleys. Option B, Radial pattern, involves streams flowing outward from a central high point. Option C, Rectangular pattern, is characterized by right-angle bends. Therefore, only the dendritic pattern truly mimics the natural branching of a tree.
