None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Secondary growth does not occur in a monocot plant because of the absence of cambium in vascular bundle in between xylem and phloem . Monocot stems, such as bamboo and palms do not have a vascular cambium and do not exhibit secondary growth by the production of concentric annual rings .
Detailed explanation-2: -The monocotyledonous bamboos grow fast in length but do not show secondary thickening to add cells to their periphery, and the final diameter of the stem is determined in the initial growth phase, which results in a slender stem with a hollow structure.
