Solution

The correct option is A protostele
The term 'stele' sums up the vascular system, associated tissues and the enclosed pith.
Protostele is a type of stele, in which the vascular tissue in the stem forms a solid core, with no central pith.
Dictyostele - a stele in which the vascular cylinder is broken up into a longitudinal series or network of vascular strands around a central pith.
Siphonostele - A stele in which the vascular tissue is in the form of a cylinder surrounding the pith, as in the stems of most ferns and other seedless vascular plants.
Solenostele - A type of siphonostele, in which the vascular tissue in the stem forms a central cylinder around a pith, with widely spaced leaf gaps.
