Solution

The correct option is D Both B and C
Monocots have their vascular bundles arranged in the form of a ring. They have spherical structures when seen in a microscope. In their outermost layer, there is a presence of chloroplast containing chlorophyll. Both of them have these layers of epidermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, vascular tissue, conjunctive tissue, pith. In the middle layer, there are parenchyma cells. Below it, there are skull-shaped bundles of xylem and phloem arranges spherically.
So, option D is the correct answer.
