D Correct answer
Explanation

Most monocots lack secondary growth, but Yucca is an exception that exhibits anomalous secondary growth through a specialized cambium. This is unusual because monocots typically lack a vascular cambium and cork cambium needed for secondary thickening. Sugarcane, wheat, and maize are typical monocots without secondary growth.
