Solution

The correct option is D Position
Based on location in the plant body, meristem can be classified into the following three types:
Apical meristem - It is the meristem present at the tip of the root and stem, commonly called as root apex and shoot apex respectively. Such, meristems constitute the actively growing regions in the plant body.
Intercalary meristem - It is the meristem that occurs between permanent tissues.
Lateral meristem - It is the meristem that occurs laterally, parallel to the long axis of plant body.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
