Solution

The correct option is D Vacuole
Meristematic tissues are made up of actively dividing cells which drive the growth of the plant in vertical and horizontal directions, including the increase in thickness of the stem and branches. They require constant nutrition and does not require storage of the nutrients. The main function of vacuole is to store nutrients. Since this function is not required, meristematic cells lack vacuoles.
