Solution

The correct option is A Dermatogen
Histogen theory (proposed by Hanstein in 1870) states that the three principal tissues of the root—vascular cylinder, cortex, and epidermis originate from three groups of initial cells, or histogens, in the apical meristem—plerome, periblem, and dermatogen respectively.
