Solution

The correct option is A Cortex
Cork cambium is a lateral meristematic tissue found in vascular plants and is part of the periderm. This forms in living cells of the epidermis, cortex, and in some plants, phloem. The cork cambium which produces a secondary protective tissue, the periderm is responsible for secondary growth in many woody, herbaceous dicots, gymnosperms and some monocots and replaces the epidermis in roots and stems.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
