Answer

C

Explanation

Vascular bundles in angiospermic roots are redial i.e., xylem and phloem bundles are arranged alternately on different radii and are exarch. Collateral vascular bundles are found in angiospermic stem. They are rounded or oval in outline and contain xylem on the inner and phloem on the outer side.
