AMonocot stems with closed bundles
BDicot roots with radial xylem

DAll leaves of all flowering plants
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Monocot stems with closed bundles
Monocot stem vascular bundles are each surrounded by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath, providing mechanical strength in lieu of secondary growth. Dicot stem bundles do NOT typically have such sheaths.
