Answer 1

The correct option is A Meristematic

Meristematic tissues present in plants include groups of continuously dividing cells. There are four types of meristematic tissues. According to their position in the plant, they are classified as-

1. Apical meristem- They are located at the root and stem apices and increase the length of plant.

2. Intercalary meristem: It is present in the permanent tissues.

3. Lateral Meristem- They are located parallel to the sides of formation and form the secondary permanent tissues. They play a role in increasing the plant thickness.

Thus the correct answer is option A.
