Solution

The correct option is D Endogenous
Lateral root primordia originate from the mature pericycle of the parent root. One of the first events is a periclinal division that generates a double layer of pericycle derived cells. Cells of the primordia begin to differentiate almost immediately after initiation, as evidenced by differential gene expression in the inner and outer layers. An endogenous lateral branch develops from pericycle and passes through the cortex. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
