In dicot root.
A
Vascular bundles are scattered and are with cambium
B
Xylem is always enlarged
C
Xylem and phloem are radially arranged
D
Vascular bundles are arranged in a ring and have cambium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Whenever the xylem and phloem are arranged alternately with different radii inside the vascular bundle, the arrangement is known as radial. One of the characteristic features of roots is the presence of radial vascular bundles and the existence of parenchymatous cells in the middle of xylem and phloem bundles.

Detailed explanation-2: -In dicot roots, the vascular structures are located in the middle of the root. The arrangement of xylem and phloem is different in dicots than it is in monocots. The xylem is all located in the middle of the dicot root, and bundles of phloem are arranged around it, separated from it by vascular cambium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The radial vascular bundle is a simple arrangement of the xylem and phloem side by side on different radii and are separated by non-conductive tissues. These radial vascular bundles are the characteristic feature of the root of both dicots and monocots.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Dicot root contains radial vascular bundles.

Detailed explanation-5: -They are stacked end to end in the center of the plant, forming a vertical column that conducts water and minerals absorbed by the roots upward through the stem to the leaves. Phloem cells form a similar chain on the outer edges of the xylem, transporting food synthesized by the leaves downward through the stem.
