Solution
The correct option is C Radial In dicot root vascular bundles are described as radial and tetrarch. There are four bundles each of xylem and phloem occurring alternately. Xylem is described as exarch. In radial vascular bundle the xylem and phloem tissues occur in separate groups on alternate radial positions. This is seen in roots. Thus, option C is correct.
