Solution
The correct option is C Cambium
Cambium, in plants, is a layer of actively dividing cells between xylem (wood) and phloem (bast) tissues.
It is responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots (secondary growth occurs after the first season and results in an increase in thickness).
Hence, Cells which takes part in secondary growth are named as Cambium.
