Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Intercalary meristems are intercalated in between the permanent tissues. They may be present either at the base of the internode as in the sterns of various grasses and wheat or at the base of the leaf as in Pinus; or at the base of a node as in mint (Mentha Viridis.) Usually, the intercalate meristems differ from other meristems in that they ultimately get fully used up in the formation of permanent tissues.
So the correct answer is 'A'.

Reason: $C a C O_{3}$ which decomposes into $C a O$ and $C O_{2}$ . The $C a O$ formed reacts with $S i O_{2}$ to remove silica
