Solution

The correct option is B Apical meristem
Apical meristem is found at the growing tips, that is root and shoot tips. These are actively dividing cells and are thus responsible for the growth of plant length-wise. Rapid division of meristematic cells can cause the plant to grow tall. There are several hormones like auxin which stimulate the multiplication of meristematic cells.
