Solution
The correct option is A Sympodial
Sympodial branching occurs when the terminal bud ceases to grow and an axillary bud or buds become new leader shoots, called renewal shoots. Sympodial growth is a specialized lateral growth pattern in which the apical meristem is terminated and growth is continued by one or the more lateral meristems, which repeat the process. It is seen in oaks. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
