Solution

The correct option is B Intercalary meristem
Intercalary meristems are present in the stems at the base of nodes and leaf blades.Cells of such meristems can divide and form new cells.
Sugar cane is a monocot plant, which possesses intercalary meristem at the nodes.
Hence, if the tip of the sugar cane is removed, it can still grow using the intercalary meristem present at the nodes.
