A. A-3, B-4, C-1, D-2
Step-by-step solution
Apical meristem is a primary meristem and consists of actively dividing, undifferentiated cells (A-3). Tracheary elements (like tracheids and vessels) are formed when cells derived from root and shoot apical meristems mature and lose their protoplasm to perform specific functions. This process is differentiation (B-4). Cork cambium is a secondary meristem formed when living differentiated cells (like cortical parenchyma) regain the capacity to divide. This is dedifferentiation (C-1). Secondary xylem is formed when
