Solution

The correct option is B mass of undifferentiated cells
Callus is a mass of proliferative, undifferentiated cells produced from isolated differentiated or undifferentiated plant cells when grown aseptically on artificial nutrient medium in glass vials un­der controlled experimental conditions.

A whole plant can be regenerated in large numbers from callus tissue through manip­ulation of the nutrient and hormonal con­stituents in a culture medium.
