Solution

The correct option is C

Primary meristem


The meristems which occur at the tips of roots and shoots are called apical meristems. Because it is responsible for the formation of primary tissue, it is called primary meristem.

The apical meristem is responsible for the formation of young leaves and the elongation stem and roots.
