The correct option is D Cambium

Increase in thickness or girth of the stem due to the formation of secondary tissues is called Secondary growth. It occurs in dicot stem and gymnosperm stems only due to the presence of a strip of meristematic tissue present between the xylem and phloem in a vascular bundle is called cambium.
So, the correct option is ‘Cambium’.
