Question

Read the following statements and identify the incorrect statement

• A. Late wood is characterized by a large number of xylary elements
• B. Early wood is characterized by a large number of xylary elements
• C. Early wood is characterized by vessels with narrower cavities
• D. Late wood is characterized by vessels with narrower cavities

Answer 1

The correct option is A Late wood is characterized by a large number of xylary elements

In winter, when the cambium is less active and forms fewer xylary elements that have narrow vessels then this wood is called autumn wood or late wood. While, in spring season, cambium is very active and produces a large number of xylary elements having vessels with wider cavities, this wood is called spring wood or early wood.

The correct answer is "option B"
