The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Vascular bundles of monocot stem are conjoint, collateral (xylem, phloem both present together on the same radius) but closed i.e. they lack cambium hence secondary growth is absent. Phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and a few phloem fibres. Phloem parenchyma is absent.
