Solution

The correct option is D Branches arise endogenously
The branches of the stem are formed exogenously. The stem arises from the plumule of the seed and grows upwards away from the soil and towards the sky which is ascending type of growth. In the stems, there are specialized hair like structures called the trichomes which are multicellular. The apex of the stem always terminates in a bud called the apical bud.
So, option D is the correct answer as the statement is false.
