Solution

The correct option is B Vascular bundles are closed
Monocot plants can't be grafted as they lack the cambium tissue, which is present in dicot plants. Cambium tissue is meristematic tissue, which is present in the vascular bundles of the dicot plants. This tissue has a regeneration capacity due to which it can form new tissue at the time of grafting. The lack of cambium in monocots makes it impossible to graft
So, the correct answer is 'Vascular bundles are closed'
