Solution

The correct option is C Pericycle
Lateral roots are originated from the pericycle. These are produced when cells in the pericycle, the layer of cells surrounding the central vascular cylinder, begin to divide, form additional cell layers that push through the outer layers of the primary roots. As lateral roots are initiated in the pericycle and grows out through the cortex and epidermis, they are said to have an internal or endogenous origin. The correct answer is option C
