The correct answer is:

In Cycas (a gymnosperm), the xylem generally lacks vessels and consists mainly of tracheids. Vessels are a characteristic feature of angiosperms.

Other options are correct:

• Male cones are present

• Coralloid roots are present (with cyanobacteria)

• Young leaves show circinate vernation (coiled form)
