Answer 1

The correct option is B lateral meristem

The meristematic tissue that is found in the plant's peripheral zone, both at the stem and at the roots, is known as the lateral meristem. The lateral meristem is responsible for the expansion of the plant's diameter, also known as secondary growth. Vascular cambium and cork cambium are lateral meristem.
