- BBoth Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
- CAssertion is true but the Reason is false
- DBoth Assertion and Reason are false
Correct answer
A. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is correct explanation of Assertion
Step-by-step solution
Formation of meristems occur – interfascicular cambium and cork cambium from fully differentiated parenchyma cells(Dedifferentiation). While doing so, such meristems/tissues are able to divide and produce cells that once again lose the capacity to divide but mature to perform specific functions, i.e., get redifferentiated.
