' is xylem which is exarch with respect to the positions of protoxylem and metaxylem.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
' 
' is the endodermis, which is the innermost layer of cortex and usually lacks Casparian strips in a dicot stem. ' N ' is the sclerenchymatous pericycle that provides mechanical strength. 'O' is xylem which is endarch (centrifugal).i.e., protoxylem (first formed xylem) lies towards the pith or center of the stem.
