Solution

The correct option is D Maize
In the monocot stem (maize), the ground tissue is not differentiated into cortex, endodermis and pericycle. The vascular bundles are scattered in the ground tissue and the pith is also undifferentiated. Hence, phloem parenchyma is absent in maize.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
