Solution

The correct option is B Secondary xylem
The vascular cambium is the lateral meristem which gives rise to secondary xylem and secondary phloem. The cambial cells divide to produce secondary phloem on the outside and secondary xylem towards the inside.
Phelloderm is a part of periderm that arises by the division of the cells of another lateral meristem called the cork cambium.
