Solution

The correct option is C maturation
Root develops from the radicle of the germinating seed and has four main regions - root cap, region of meristematic activity, region of elongation and region of maturation.

Roots hairs are epidermal cells of the region of maturation that are modified to form very fine, delicate, thread-like structures. They are meant for absorption of water and minerals from the soil.
