The correct answer is:
I and III
The monocot root is very similar to the dicot root in many aspects with minor similarities. It shows the presence of more than six xylem bundles hence said to have a polyarch condition. The pith is large and prominent. Secondary growth is not seen in monocot root due to the absence of vascular cambium.
