Solution
The correct option is B Secondary meristem
The cambial layer formed between the two vascular bundles is known as interfascicular cambium.
They are actively dividing cells which produce xylem towards the inner side and phloem to the outer side hence, it increases the thickness or girth of the plant, therefore, it is a secondary meristem.
In dicots, the fascicular and interfascicular cambium combine together to form a continuous ring called the vascular cambium.
