Solution

The correct option is D Vessels
Cycas is a gymnosperm and hence, it has naked ovules. Circinate vernation of younger leaves is a fern character in Cycas. Girdling leaf traces are characteristic of cycads and not known in other gymnospermous groups. Trachieds conduct water and minerals in Cycas . Vessels are absent in Cycas
So, the correct answer is 'Vessels'
