Answer: Monocot stem has scattered vascular bundles. They lack cambium, thus cannot show secondary or lateral growth(no growth in girth)

Answer:
The correct answer will be- as it does not contain the cambium.
Explanation:
The teacher observed the section of the specimen and found that the section contains the scattered vascular bundles which are the characteristic feature of the monocot stem.
The monocot stems lack the cambium which is the layer of actively dividing cells between the vascular bundles responsible for the secondary growth which increases the girth of the stem.
Thus, does not contain the cambium is the correct answer.
