• B. Presence of narrow vessels
• C. Being light in colour
• D. Possessing high density

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Being produced in winter

• In the spring season, cambium is very active and produces a large number of xylary elements having vessels with wider cavities and form spring or earlywood and has light colour with lower density while late or autumn wood is formed in winter and vessels are less in number with a narrow lumen which is dark in color with high density.

So the correct option is 'Being produced in winter'.
