Solution
The correct option is B Dendrochronology
In the region of secondary xylem, the cambium is less active in autumn and more active in spring. Thus, in each year two zones of secondary xylem are formed and both can be easily demarcated. These two zones constitute an annual or growth ring. By counting the number of annular rings, it is possible to know the age of a plant. This study is known as dendrochronology.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
