  • (1) Phloem parenchyma is absent : True for monocot stems.
  • (2) Hypodermis is parenchymatous : Incorrect. In monocot stems, the hypodermis is collenchymatous or sclerenchymatous, not parenchymatous.

  • (3) Vascular bundles are scattered : True feature of monocot stems.

  • (4) Vascular bundles are conjoint and closed  :Also true for monocots (xylem and phloem are together and no cambium).

Hence, the correct answer is: Option 2 )Hypodermis is parenchymatous.
