Solution

The correct option is C Number of xylem / phloem strands
Most of the features of the dicot and monocot roots are similar except the vascular bundles. In the dicot root, there are 2-6 bundles of xylem and phloem alternating whereas in monocots the number of xylem and phloem strands are more than 8. Further, the xylem vessels in dicots are polygonal and those of monocots are oval.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
