Solution

The correct option is B II and III
The thickness of a plant is denoted by the thickening of the stem and root. This is due to the secondary growth that results from the cell division of the lateral meristems- the cork cambium and vascular cambium. Whereas apical meristem increases the length of plants by regular cell division. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
