The correct Answer is:
c
In dicot , large sized vessels are arranged in two ways - ring porous (large sized vessels in early wood , e.g. Quercus) and diffuse porous (large sized vessels distributed throughout , e.g. Azadirachta). Ring porous vessels are more effcient and advanced as they provide quicker translocation when water requirement is maximum.
