Solution
The correct option is
C
Calyptrogen
The root apical meristem gives rise to three primary meristems- procambium, ground meristem, protoderm and the root cap.
Calyptrogen is a specialized internal meristematic cell derived from the root apical meristem.
They divide internally to produce a protective cap-like structure at the root tip called the root cap.
Dermatogen, periblem and plerome are the three histogens derived from the shoot apical meristem.
So, the correct answer is 'Calyptrogen'
