The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Xylem Vessels**: - Xylem vessels are one of the key components of the xylem tissue in plants. They are primarily responsible for the conduction of water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant. 2. **Identifying the Arrangement**: - The question specifies that the xylem vessels are few in number and arranged in the form of a "Y". This unique arrangement is crucial for identifying the correct plant structure. 3. **Analyzing Options**: - The options provided are: - A) Dicot Stem - B) Monocot Stem - C) Monocot Root - D) Dicot Root 4. **Examining Monocot Stem**: - In monocot stems, the xylem vessels are typically arranged in a way that allows them to form a "Y" shape. The protoxylem is located at the base, while the metaxylem forms the upper arms of the "Y". 5. **Counting Xylem Vessels**: - Monocot stems usually have 2 to 4 xylem vessels, which fits the description of being "few in number". 6. **Eliminating Other Options**: - Dicot stems and roots generally have a different arrangement of xylem vessels and do not form a "Y" shape. Therefore, they can be eliminated as options. 7. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the correct answer is **B) Monocot Stem**.
