Solution

The correct option is B
Animal growth is even and plant growth is localised.

Growth in plants is localised to the tips of the stems and roots. This is due to the presence of meristematic cells which divide continuously resulting in growth. In animals, growth is not localised to any specific areas. All the cells divide and result in an even growth of the body.
