The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Vascular Bundles**: Vascular bundles are structures in plants that contain xylem and phloem, which are responsible for the transport of water, nutrients, and food. 2. **Definition of Cambium**: Cambium is a layer of actively dividing cells located between the xylem and phloem. It plays a crucial role in the growth of plants. 3. **Types of Vascular Bundles**: There are two types of vascular bundles based on the presence or absence of cambium: - **Open Vascular Bundles**: These contain cambium, allowing for secondary growth (growth in thickness). - **Closed Vascular Bundles**: These lack cambium, which means they do not undergo secondary growth. 4. **Characteristics of Monocotyledons**: Monocots, or monocotyledons, are a group of flowering plants that typically have closed vascular bundles. This means that in monocots, the xylem and phloem do not have the cambium layer between them. 5. **Conclusion**: The vascular bundles in monocotyledons are considered closed because they do not have cambium, preventing secondary growth. **Final Answer**: Vascular bundles in monocotyledons are considered closed because of the absence of cambium. ---
