Solution

The correct option is A monocot stem
The cortex in the monocot stem has a single region called hypodermis made up of sclerenchymatous cells. Hence the cortex is not differentiated in monocot stem.
In the dicot and monocot root, the cortex is differentiated into general cortex and endodermis.
In the dicot stem, the cortex is differentiated into three regions. They are collenchymatous hypodermis, followed by parenchymatous region of cortex and inner endodermis (rich in starch grains).
