Solution

The correct option is A 5
Apical meristem

Apical meristem is present at the tips of shoot and root. It helps in increasing the overall length of root and shoot.

Twig is itself a main branch, 1 apical meristematic tissue will be present here.

4 branches will have 4 apical meristematic tissue at their tips.

Leaves do not possess apical meristematic tissue.

Hence, 5 apical meristematic tissues are present.

Final answer: Option c. 5.
