Solution

The correct option is A Sugarcane
Girlding is a process in which the outer ring of the stem or the bark is removed. Sometimes the inner cambium is removed too. This doesn't necessarily harm the vascular bundle in mango, rubber plant and willows.
In sugarcane the vascular bundles are scattered so it cannot withstand girdling.
So the correct answer is 'Sugarcane'.
