Solution

The correct option is B Bi-collateral open
Bicollateral vascular bundles contain two patches of phloem on either side of the xylem on the same radius. The outer phloem or external phloem remains towards the periphery of the central cylinder and inner or internal phloem remains towards the center. If cambium is present in between xylem and phloem, it is called as bicollateral open.
So, the correct answer is option B.
