Solution

The correct option is D Intercalary meristem
Intercalary meristem is a primary meristem, found inserted between permanent tissues, in the bases of internodes and leaf sheaths of grasses. Wherever stem is joined, elongation of internodes is due to intercalary meristem. For example, bamboos.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
