In a four-year-old stem, where would you expect to find the oldest secondary xylem?
1. adjacent to the pith
2. just inside the vascular cambium
3. just outside the vascular cambium
4. immediately adjacent to the primary phloem
1. adjacent to the pith
2. just inside the vascular cambium
3. just outside the vascular cambium
4. immediately adjacent to the primary phloem

Hints
Consider the given two statements:
| I. | In secondary growth in dicot stems, the amount of secondary phloem produced is more than secondary xylem |
| II. | The cambium is generally more active on the outer side than the inner |
| 1. | Both I and II are true and II explains I |
| 2. | Both I and II are true but II does not explain I |
| 3. | I is true but II is false |
| 4. | Both I and II are false |

| 3. | cells that mature into primary xylem towards pith and into primary phloem towards periphery |
| 4. | cells that mature into primary xylem towards periphery and into primary phloem towards pith |
