• C. A and R both are true and R is correct explanation of A.
• D. A and R both are true but R is not correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

The correct option is C A and R both are true and R is correct explanation of A.

Meristematic tissues are responsible for overall growth and repair of the plants. Their cells have a thin cell wall, prominent nucleus, abundant cytoplasm, and are tightly arranged without vacuoles. These cells are continuously dividing resulting in overall growth and repair. Hence, these cells have dense cytoplasm and a prominent nucleus for controlling their activities.
