Solution
The correct option is A Concentric leptocentric/amphivasal
In Concentric bundle xylem either encircles or is encircled by phloem and accordingly the following two types are recognized: 1) Concentric leptocentric/amphivasal 2) Concentric hadrocentric/amphicribal
Amphivasal bundle is a vascular bundle in which xylem encircles the central strand of phloem is known as amphivasal bundle, also called leptocentric bundle. Ex. Dracaena, Yucca.
So, the correct answer is 'Concentric leptocentric/amphivasal.'
