Solution
The correct option is A Blastema
Regeneration process in higher animals involves a series of steps.1)Wound closure 2) Demolition and Defence 3)De-differentiation 4)Blastema or regeneration bud Formation or 5) Growth and 6)Re-differentiation.
Blastema formation is due to the accumulation of de-differentiated cells under the epithelial covering of the wound. As more and more cells aggregate below the epidermis, it becomes pushed out and a conical projection appears. This bud like region consisting of an outer cap of the epidermis and central core of de-differentiated cells is called blastema or regeneration bud.
Hence The elevation of the epidermis into a bud-like structure is known as Blastema.
