• A. A- 3 , B -1 , C - 2, D - 4 , E - 5
• B. A - 1 , B - 2 , C - 3 , D - 4 , E - 5
• C. A - 5 , B - 4 , C - 3 , D - 2 , E - 1
• D. A - 3 , B - 1 , C - 5 , D - 2 , E - 4

Answer 1

The correct option is D

A - 3 , B - 1 , C - 5 , D - 2 , E - 4

Apical meristems are present at the apices of stem and roots and increases length. Intercalary meristems seen at the base of grass leaves. Both apical and intercalary meristems are primary meristems. Vascular cambium and cork cambium are secondary lateral meristems which cause increase in girth (or) thickness of plant.
