Solution

The correct option is D Open form of growth
In open type of vascular bundles, a strip of cambium (meristematic layer) is present adding new cells to plant body even after completion of primary growth.

In closed type of vascular bundles, there is an absence of cambium. Hence, it does not give rise to new cells after primary growth is complete.
