Which amongst the following is mostly absent in monocots?(a) Phloem parenchyma(b) Open vascular bundles(c ) Intercalary meristem(d) Venation in the leaves

Phloem parenchyma is absent in most of the monocotyledons. They lack cambium between the xylem and phloem in their stem vascular bundles and hence they are described as closed vascular bundles. Monocots contain intercalary meristem and most contain parallel venation in the leaves.
