1. are surrounded by pericycle but not endodermis
2. are capable of producing secondary xylem and phloem
3. possess conjunctive tissue between xylem and phloem
4. are not surrounded by pericycle

Correct answer: are capable of producing secondary xylem and phloem

Vascular bundles are called open when a cambium is present between xylem and phloem. This cambium can divide to form secondary xylem and secondary phloem, allowing secondary growth.
