Solution

The correct option is C Meristem cells
Meristem cells are undifferentiated cells which have the ability to divide continuously from the meristematic tissue such as apical meristematic tissue, intercalary meristematic tissues etc.
  • They are responsible for the growth in plants.
  • These cells become permanent, non-dividing cells which perform a specific function in plants.
So, the correct answer is 'Meristem cells'
