Solution
The correct option is B Spring
As we know that differential cambial activity during autumn and spring season result in narrow and wide secondary xylem rings respectively, which together form the annual growth rings, the sign of differential growth patterns during different seasons. Cambium is more active in spring and forms more numbers of vessels with wider cavities. The increased number of leaves during spring puts a demand for additional vessels to supply sap to new leaves. Autumn season is marked by the lesser number of leaves and hence, decreased sap transport which makes cambium less active. It produces narrow pitted vessels and tracheids. Vascular cambium is inactive during winters.
