Based on Figure 35.14, which statement accurately distinguishes the organization of vascular tissues in a typical monocot root from a typical eudicot root?

• A: Eudicot roots have a core of parenchyma cells in the center, while monocot roots have xylem and phloem in the center.
• B: Monocot roots typically have a vascular cylinder with a core of parenchyma, whereas eudicot roots show a lobed core of xylem with phloem between the lobes.
• C: Both monocot and eudicot roots have a ring of xylem surrounding a central core of phloem.
• D: Vascular tissues in monocot roots are scattered, while in eudicot roots they form a continuous ring.
