Correct answer: C — Monocotyledonous stem
A monocot stem displays scattered vascular bundles, each enclosed by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath. These vascular bundles are conjoint, collateral, and closed (no cambium). Ground tissue is undifferentiated and parenchymatous. Phloem parenchyma is absent in monocot stems.
