Solution

The correct option is D Both apical and axillary meristems
The meristem is the tissue in plants that contain undifferentiated cells or meristematic cells which are rapidly dividing cells and thus are the virus-free part of the diseased plant. The culture with meristem has enabled the production of disease-free varieties including virus-free healthy plants.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
