Options
- AA - 2, B - 1, C - 3, D - 4
- BA - 3, B - 2, C - 1, D - 4
- CA - 2, B - 3, C - 1, D - 4
- DA - 1, B - 4, C - 2, D - 3
Correct answer
C. A - 2, B - 3, C - 1, D - 4
Step-by-step solution
A - 2: Tracheary elements form by differentiation, involving loss of protoplasm and development of lignocellulosic walls. B - 1: Interfascicular cambium is formed by dedifferentiation from fully differentiated cells. C - 3: Cork cambium is another example of dedifferentiation from parenchyma cells. D - 4: After dedifferentiation, cells that lose their capacity to divide and mature are examples of redifferentiation.
