Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Meristem
Meristematic tissue consists of small, actively dividing cells.
Their division produces new cells that later differentiate into permanent tissues.
Meristems are responsible for plant growth — vertical (apical), girth (lateral), and regrowth after cutting (intercalary).
