• B. $2$
• C. $3$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$2$

In the vascular bundles of Cucurbita stems, a xylem strand and two phloem strands are present on the same radius. So the vascular bundles are called Bicollateral vascular bundles. In these bundles, two strips of cambiua are present in between the xylem and phloem.

So, the correct option is ‘ 2’.
