Options
- APrimary cell wall only
- BConspicuous nuclei
- CRich in cytoplasm

Correct answer
D. Few plasmodesmata connections
Step-by-step solution
The cells in the meristematic region are rich in protoplasm, possess large conspicuous nuclei. Their cell walls are primary in nature, thin and cellulosic with abundant plasmodesmata connections. Because of their high metabolic activity, they require more energy so the respiration rate is also very high in them.
