Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
The vascular cylinder, also known as the stele, is found at the center of eudicot roots. It consists of the pericycle, vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), and sometimes the pith (in dicots with secondary growth). The endodermis and cortex are located outside of the vascular cylinder.
