Solution

The correct option is C Dicots and gymnosperms
Secondary growth refers to the growth that results from cell division in the cambia or lateral meristems and that causes the stems and roots to thicken, while primary growth is growth that occurs as a result of cell division at the tips of stems and roots, causing them to elongate and gives rise to primary tissue. Secondary growth occurs in most seed plants, but monocots usually lack secondary growth. If they do have secondary growth, it differs from the typical pattern of other seed plants. Secondary growth occurs in dicots, angiosperms and gymnosperms. It is absent in monocots. Thus, option C is correct.
