Solution

The correct option is A Vascular cambium
A wooden stem has a continuous growth in the diameter due to the cambium, forming secondary wood (xylem-phloem). Instead, grasses have a stem structure with numerous vascular bundles scattered in a ground tissue of parenchyma storing cells, which is surrounded by a strong and dense epidermis.
So, the correct answer is 'Vascular cambium'.
