Solution

The correct option is D Shoot apex (apical meristem)
Tunica corpus theory was proposed by Schmidt in 1924. According to this theory, the shoot apex of the angiosperms has two distinct zones. The peripheral zone called as tunica and the central zone called as corpus. Tunica divides only in anticlinal plane and corpus divides in various planes.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
