Solution

The correct option is D Root cap
The three principal tissues of the root vascular cylinder, cortex and epidermis originate from three groups of initial cells or histogens, in the apical meristem plerome, periblem and dermatogen respectively. A fourth histogen, the calyptrogen produces the root cap.
So, the correct answer is 'root cap'
