Solution

The correct option is B Apical meristem
Apical meristem is a meristem at the tip of a plant shoot or root that produces auxin and causes the shoot or root to increase in length.
Growth that originates in the apical meristem is called primary growth. Due to cambial activity, lateral meristem and cork cambium, the width of a plant will increase.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
