The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "When phloem surrounds xylem, the vascular bundle is," we need to analyze the options provided and understand the types of vascular bundles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Vascular Bundles**: Vascular bundles are arrangements of xylem and phloem in plants. They can be classified based on the arrangement of xylem and phloem. 2. **Identify the Arrangement**: The question specifies that phloem surrounds xylem. This indicates a specific arrangement where the xylem is located at the center, and the phloem is surrounding it. 3. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1: Concentric Leptocentric occurring in Dracaena**: In this type, xylem surrounds phloem, which is the opposite of what we need. Therefore, this option is incorrect. - **Option 2: Concentric Heterocentric occurring in Fern Maristal**: This type has phloem completely surrounding the xylem, which matches the condition given in the question. This option is correct. - **Option 3: Conjoined Bicollateral occurring in Tricosynthesis**: In this arrangement, there are two patches of cambium and xylem at the center, which does not fit the requirement. Hence, this option is incorrect. - **Option 4: Conjoined Collateral occurring in Helianthus**: In this type, xylem and phloem are arranged on the same radius, with phloem outside xylem. This does not match the requirement either, making this option incorrect. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **Concentric Heterocentric occurring in Fern Maristal**, as it correctly describes the vascular bundle where phloem surrounds xylem. ### Final Answer: **Concentric Heterocentric occurring in Fern Maristal.**
