Solution
The correct option is A Procambium
The vascular cambium makes up the growth layer in the stems and roots of many plants (in dicots- buttercups etc)
They are unspecialized cylindrical meristematic cells that divide to form secondary vascular tissues.
The vascular cambium is derived from the procambium which is present in the vascular bundles and the interfascicular parenchyma cells which are present between the vascular bundles
