Solution

The correct option is B Permanent tissue
On the basis of origin and development, meristem is grouped as promeristem, primary and secondary meristem. Promeristem includes undifferentiated, actively dividing apical initials which are derived from embryonic tissues and give rise to primary meristem. Primary meristem is derived from promeristem or embryonic meristem and produce primary permanent tissues of primary plant body. Secondary meristem develops from permanent tissues during secondary growth and gives rise to secondary tissues. Secretory tissues are the permanent primary tissues, which are derived from promeristem.
