Solution

The correct option is A Basal growth
In many vascular plants, secondary growth is the result of the activity of the two lateral meristems, the cork cambium, and vascular cambium. Arising from lateral meristems, secondary growth increases the girth of the plant root or stem, rather than its length.
So the correct option is 'Basal growth'.
