Solution

The correct option is D Thin wall, dense protoplasm, no intercellular spaces, isodiametric and nucleate
The characteristics of meristematic cells are:-
1)The cells are isodiametric with thin cellulosic cell walls with no secondary cell wall.
2) They divide rapidly hence, there is no stored food in these cells.
3) They are compactly arranged cells with no intercellular spaces.
4) They have a dense cytoplasm with a prominent nucleus.
5) Endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria are not fully developed in these cells.
6) They are the most metabolically active cells.
So, the correct answer is 'Thin wall, dense protoplasm, no intercellular spaces, isodiametric and nucleate'.
