  3. CRedifferentiation
  4. DTotipotency

Correct answer

B. Dedifferentiation

Step-by-step solution

The cells derived from root apical and shoot-apical meristems and cambium differentiate and mature to perform specific functions. This act leading to maturation is termed as differentiation. The living differentiated cells, that by now have lost the capacity to divide can regain the capacity of division under certain conditions. This phenomenon is termed as 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
