Solution

The correct option is A Apical
Based on the position of the meristematic tissues we can divide them into three types. Apical meristem is a mass of rapidly dividing tissue seen at the tip of stem and root. Intercalary meristem are located at the internodes of the base of the leaves and lateral meristem is present at the sides of the plant and increases the girth of the plant.
