The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Type of Plant**: The question specifically asks about monocot stems. Monocots are a group of flowering plants that typically have parallel leaf veins, scattered vascular bundles, and other distinct characteristics. 2. **Understand Vascular Bundles**: In monocot stems, the vascular bundles are arranged in a scattered manner throughout the stem. Each vascular bundle consists of xylem and phloem tissues. 3. **Examine the Structure of Vascular Bundles**: In monocot stems, the vascular bundles are oval in shape and lack cambium, which is a layer of tissue that produces new xylem and phloem cells in dicots. 4. **Identify the Cavity**: The question specifically asks for the cavity found within these vascular bundles. In monocots, these vascular bundles contain cavities that are filled with water. 5. **Name the Cavity**: The cavity present in the vascular bundles of monocot stems is called the **lysigenous cavity**. This cavity is primarily filled with water. **Final Answer**: The cavity found in the vascular bundles of monocot stems is called the **lysigenous cavity**. ---
