Solution

The correct option is A dicot stem
Collenchyma are living cells that have thickened cells wall due to pecto-cellulose and provide mechanical support to the stem in herbaceous dicots. Roots do not have collenchyma and collenchyma is absent in monocots due to early development of sclerenchyma, which provides the mechanical support.
