Read the different components from (a) to (d) in the list given below and tell the correct order of the components with reference to their arrangement from outer side to inner side in a woody dicot stem 
(a) Secondary cortex
(b) Wood
(c) Secondary phloem
(d) Phellem

The correct order is:

1. (a), (b), (d), (c) 2. (d), (a), (c), (b)

1. Cambium is absent
2. There are no vessels with perforations
