Best answer

Answer: 1. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is true.

Key idea: Endarch and exarch describe the position of primary xylem.

  • Statement I is incorrect: it says secondary xylem. Primary xylem is endarch in stems (protoxylem towards the centre) and exarch in roots.
  • Statement II is true: roots usually have exarch xylem.

Option 1.
