Solution

The correct option is C Medullary rays
  • Inter-fascicular cambium develops from the cells of medullary rays.
  • The cambium present between primary xylem and primary phloem is called intra-fasicular cambium.
  • At the time of secondary growth, cells of medullary rays in line with intra-fasicular cambium become meristematic and form inter-fasicular cambium.
  • The intra-fascicular and inter-fascicular cambiums, therefore, represent a continuous ring which bisects the primary xylem and primary phloem and is known as cambium ring.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
