Solution

The correct option is D In all the roots
The apical meristem of roots or the root apical meristem is present at the tips of all types of roots and is responsible for elongation of roots. They first arise in the radicles of the embryonic plant body. Tap roots are formed by the direct extension of the radicle and its subsequesnt branching.
Adventitious roots are roots that arise from tissues other than the root tissues. They also have root apical meristem which helps in their growth.
