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
  • So, the correct answer is 'Procambium'
