Solution

The correct option is B Meristem
  • Totipotency can be defined as the ability of the single cells to divide and produce all of the differentiated cells in plants and thus, has the capability to grow back to form a full plant.
  • Meristematic tissue is the undifferentiated tissues which have the ability to divide continuously.
  • At a later stage, the cells of meristematic tissues lose the ability to divide and forms the permanent tissues which are destined to perform specific functions in plants.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Meristem'.
