Solution
The correct option is D Dicot stem and monocot root
Pith is the tissue in the stems and roots of the vascular plants. The main function is the storage of water and food. In monocots roots and duct stems, the pith is made up of parenchyma cells which are produced by vascular bundles at the centre. The pith is absent in monocot stem as a type of vascular bundles that is responsible for the formation of pith is absent. As there is no cambium ring in the dicot root, it crushes the pith region which leads to the formation of the narrow space without a ring. So, the pith is found only in dicot stem and monocot root.So, the correct option is D.
