Answer 1

The correct option is A Meristematic cells

A callus arises from cells of the cambium. When a callus forms, some of its cells may organize into growing points, some of which in turn give rise to roots, while others produce stems and leaves. Thus, a callus may be capable of regenerating an entire plant. So, it shows meristematic charecteristics.
