Leaves of monocots are characterized as isobilateral (equally green on both the surfaces), amphistomatic (stomata on both surfaces), and dumbbell-shaped guard cells.

The upper epidermis possesses groups of larger-sized thin-walled vacuolate cells called bulliform or motor cells. Bulliform cells help in the rolling of leaves during water stress or drought. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
