In monocot stems, the vascular bundles are
ABicollateral with two phloem zones
BScattered with sclerenchymatous sheaths
CArranged in a ring with cambium
DRadial as in dicot root system
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Scattered with sclerenchymatous sheaths
Monocot stem bundles are scattered through the ground tissue, each surrounded by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath. Bundles are conjoint and closed (no cambium); larger toward the centre.
