Solution

The correct option is B Meristematic tissue
To test how growth factors affect the "differentiation" of plant tissue, the growth factors would have to be applied on undifferentiated tissue.

Among the options, dermal, vascular and ground tissue are tissues that have already differentiated. Meristematic tissue is the undifferentiated tissue that is have the capacity to divide and self-perpetuate (open form of growth). The meristematic tissue is the one whose cells eventually differentiate to form all kinds of specialised cells.

Hence meristematic tissues would be the best choice of experimental tissue to test the effect of growth factors.
