Solution

The correct option is B Procambium
The epidermis, primary xylem, primary phloem, pith and cortex are all produced by the apical meristem. The apical meristem after mitosis gives rise to three meristems. The secondary layer, which is made up of procambium gives rise to the primary xylem and primary phloem.
