D. All except (vi)
Step-by-step solution
In dicot stem, ground tissue is well-differentiated and consists of endodermis, pericycle, medullary rays and the central part as pith. In monocot, ground tissue is undifferentiated and lacks endodermis, pericycle, medullary rays and the central part as pith. Phloem parenchyma is absent in monocot stem.
