detailed solution

Correct option is A

Monocots lack secondary growth. Therefore, they do not have any cambium present in between the vascular bundles. When cambium is present in between vascular bundles it is an open vascular bundle. In monocot stem the vascular bundle is scattered and peripheral vascular bundles are generally smaller than the centrally located ones.
