The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the characteristics of monocot stems, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (a): Vascular bundles are scattered.** - In monocot stems, the vascular bundles (which consist of xylem and phloem) are indeed scattered throughout the stem. This is a distinctive feature of monocots compared to dicots, where vascular bundles are arranged in a ring. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement (b): Hypodermis is sclerenchymatous.** - The hypodermis in monocot stems is typically made up of sclerenchyma cells, which provide structural support. This is another characteristic feature of monocots. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. 3. **Statement (c): Endodermis is well developed.** - In monocot stems, the endodermis is not as well developed as in dicots. It is present but does not have the same prominence. Therefore, this statement is misleading. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **incorrect**. 4. **Statement (d): Stele is atactostele.** - The term "atactostele" refers to a type of stele where vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem. This is characteristic of monocots, confirming that this statement is accurate. - **Conclusion:** This statement is **correct**. ### Final Evaluation: - From the analysis, we find that statements (a), (b), and (d) are correct, while statement (c) is incorrect. Therefore, the correct option is that **only statement (c) is incorrect**.
