The correct option is B procambium
Protomeristem or the embryonic meristematic cells give rise to the primary meristem, which is responsible for the primary growth of the plant.
Primary meristem can be classified as protoderm, procambium and ground meristem based on its function. Procambium, which is also a meristematic tissue, gives rise to the primary xylem and phloem.
Protoxylem is the first formed primary xylem element. Metaxylem is the primary xylem that is formed after the protoxylem.
Tracheids are a component of xylem, which are unicellular, elongated, tube-like cells with the tapering end. They have thick lignified walls. Their cells lack protoplasm.
