Solution

The correct option is A Dermatogen
According to histogen theory by Hanstein, the three principal tissues of the root, vascular cylinder, cortex and epidermis originate from three groups of initial cells or histogens, in the apical meristem plerome, periblem and dermatogen respectively. A fourth histogen, the calyptrogen produces the root cap.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
