The correct option is D Intercalary meristem
Meristem are the region of cells capable of division and growth in plants. They are typically small cells found in various regions in a plant. They contain dense cytoplasm and small vacuoles. Meristems are classified by their location in the plant as apical which located at root and shoot tips, lateral located in the vascular and cork cambia, and intercalary which is present at internodes, or stem regions between the places at which leaves attach, and leaf bases, especially of certain monocotyledons. Intercalary meristem is basically responsible for rapid growth and regrowth of many monocots.So, the correct answer is 'intercalary meristem'
