X	Y
(A) dicot root -	dicot stem
(B) monocot root -	monocot stem
(C) dicot stem -	monocot stem
(D) monocot stem -	dicot stem

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C

• Figures X and Y represent the transverse sections of dicot stem and monocot stem respectively.
• Both stems and roots contain vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), the circulatory system of the plant. In stem, the vascular tissues are contained in bundles and these bundles sit relatively near the surface of the stem. In roots, the vascular tissues are found at the centre.
  
• In dicot stem, vascular bundles are arranged in a ring whereas vascular bundles are scattered in monocot stem as shown in the above figure.
• So the correct option is C
