Options

  1. A(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)
  2. B(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
  3. C(A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
  4. D(A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

Correct answer

C. (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

Step-by-step solution

Intercalary meristems occur between mature tissues, such as at the base of internodes in grasses. Cork cambium is a cylindrical lateral meristem that appears later in the life of a plant and is responsible for secondary growth (producing cork and secondary cortex). Axillary buds are formed by cells left behind from the shoot apical meristem and are present in the axils of leaves. Apical meristems occur at the tips of roots and shoots and produce primary tissues. Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-(II), (B)-(III
