Solution
The correct option is C If the assertion is true but the reason is false Quiescent centre is found in the centre of the root apex. Cell divisions are very few in the quiescent centre as there is very little synthesis of new proteins, RNAs and DNA. Quiescent centre may function as reserve meristem.
