Solution

The correct option is C I is incorrect, but II and III are correct

In a dicot root, the vascular bundles are radial and exarch.
The innermost layer of cortex in roots is endodermis. It is made up of closely packed living cells characterised by presence of casparian strips.
In vascular bundle of dicot roots, xylem and phloem patches are separated from each other by intervening thin-walled parenchyma cells called conjunctive or complementary tissue.
Hence, I is incorrect, II and III are correct.
