ACortex of parenchyma cells
BMesophyll palisade cells
CBundle sheath of monocot leaf
DPericycle in semi-lunar patches
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Pericycle in semi-lunar patches
In dicot stems the pericycle appears as semi-lunar patches of sclerenchyma on the inner side of the endodermis, above the phloem of each vascular bundle. The patches are also called bundle caps.
