Solution

The correct option is B Lateral
The lateral meristems can be defined as the meristems present on the lateral side of the central longitudinal axis of the stem or the root of a plant.
They are responsible for secondary growth in plants i.e, increase in the thickness or girth of the plant.
The lateral meristems are of two types- vascular cambium and the cork cambium.
