Solution

The correct option is A Monocot stem
Cortex and pith remain indistinguishable in a monocot stem. The epidermis is a layer of cells that cover the plant body, including the stems, leaves, flowers and fruits, that protects the plant from the outside world. In old stems the epidermal layer, cortex and primary phloem become separated from the inner tissues by thicker formations of cork. But in the monocots the cortex and pith are indistinguishable.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
