Solution
The correct option is B Dedifferentiation
In plants, apical meristems divide and differentiate to perform a specific function. This phenomenon is called as differentiation. Sometimes, the differentiated cells in plants regain the capacity to divide under certain conditions. This phenomenon is called as dedifferentiation. An interfascicular vascular cambium is an example of dedifferentiation. During dedifferentiation, certain cells lose the capacity to divide and becomes mature. This phenomenon is called as redifferentiation.Thus, the correct answer is option B.
