Solution

The correct option is C Apical meristem
Those meristems that are found at the growing tip of a root or a stem are known as apical meristems. Intercalary meristems at the nodes of stem, allow for rapid stem elongation. The lateral meristems are present on the lateral side of the stem and root of a plant.
