Options
- A(A),(B),(C) and (E) only
- B(A),(B),(D) and (E) only
- C(A),(C) and (D) only
- D(B), (C) and (D) only
Correct answer
D. (B), (C) and (D) only
Step-by-step solution
Fascicular vascular cambium, interfascicular cambium and cork cambium are examples of lateral meristems. The meristem which occurs between mature tissues is known as intercalary meristem. Cells of shoot apical meristem form the axillary buds. Both intercalary meristem and axillary buds are primary meristems
