Answer 1

The correct option is D

All of these

The correct option is D.

Explanation of correct option:

1. Redifferentiation is the process of maturing dedifferentiated cells to perform specific functions and lose their capacity to divide again.
2. Formation of the secondary cortex, xylem, phloem, and cork are some examples of redifferentiation.
3. The secondary cortex is formed by the cork and cambium and is obtained from the phelloderm.
4. The xylem tissues are formed from the meristematic cells, usually called procambium or cambium.
5. The phloem tissues are formed by the apical meristems in roots and stem tips.

Final Answer: Formation of secondary cortex, xylem, and phloem are all examples of redifferentiation.
