Solution

The correct option is B Pteridophyte
Ferns are only capable of primary growth, i.e., growing upward. They do not increase in diameter (no secondary growth). This primary growth occurs at the tips of the plants shoots and roots within apical meristems. The apical meristems contain meristematic tissue which gives rise to all other types of plant tissue.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
