Answer: A

Tendu belongs to the family Ebenaceae.

Diospyros melanoxylon, the tendu or East Indian ebony, is in the ebony family Ebenaceae, along with the true ebonies of the same genus. Its leaves are collected for wrapping bidis, an important source of income for forest dwellers in Madhya Pradesh.

Dipterocarpaceae is the family of sal, and Combretaceae that of arjun, harra and baheda. 'Diospyraceae' is not a recognised family.
