  • A
    Dicot root
  • B
    Dicot stem
  • C
    Monocot stem
  • D
    Branches of stem

Answer

  1. Dicot root

Explanation:

In dicotyledonous roots Xylem plates usually join at the centre forming a solid core.

Hence the stele is regarded as a protostele.

Xylem is always exarch, due to centripetal mode of diff­erentiation from the procambium, so protoxylem occurs towards circumference and metaxylem towards the center.
