Which of the statements given above are true?

• A. (a) is true, but (b) and (c) are false.

(a) is false, but (b) and (c) are true.

1. In a dicot root, the vascular bundles are open and endarch.

2. The innermost layer of the cortex in a dicot root is the endodermis.

3. In a dicot root, the phloem masses separated from the xylem by parenchymatous cells are known as the conjunctive tissue.
