Answer 1

The correct option is A A- 6, B- 2, C- 7, D- 1, E- 8, F- 4, G- 5, H- 3

The given image is of cross section of a typical root showing the arrangement of xylem and phloem that are arranged in the central cylinder. The outer layer is an epidermis which has root hairs on it. Inside the epidermis, thick layer of cortex is present followed by thin layer of endodermis. Vascular cambium is present in between inner primary xylem and outer primary phloem. Pericycle is present around the primary phloem.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
