• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Dedifferentiation

Cambium is the layer which forms Cork and acts as a secondary meristem from a layer of collenchyma or parenchyma immediately beneath the epidermis. The cells which produce from cork cambium will differentiate and will get mature to perform a specialized function. The living cells which lost the capacity to divide can regain the capacity of the division under certain conditions is called as 'Dedifferentiation.'
