Solution
The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
- The lateral meristems can be defined as the meristems present on the lateral side of the central longitudinal axis of the stem or the root of a plant which helps to increase the thickness of the plants (secondary growth).
- The lateral meristems are of two types- vascular cambium and the cork cambium.
- Vascular cambium is also known as fascicular cambium which develops within the vascular bundles that produce xylem to the inner side and phloem to the outer side. And they are of 2 types 1.interfascicular cambium.
- 2.intrafascicular cambium.
- So, the assertion and reason both are correct but the reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- Hence option (B) is correct.
