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.
