Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

In the transverse section of a dicot stem, the xylem is located more interiorly (towards the center) than the phloem, which is found on the outer side of the vascular bundles. Dicot stems have vascular bundles arranged in a ring around the periphery of the stem. Within each vascular bundle, the xylem is located towards the center (interior) of the bundle, and the phloem is located towards the outside (exterior). 

There is an explanation video available below.
