Solution

The correct option is D Intercalary meristem
The meristematic tissues or simply meristems are tissues in which the cells remain forever young and divide actively throughout the life of the plant. There are three types of meristematic tissues - apical, lateral and intercalary meristematic tissues. Intercalary meristems are tissues present in areas where branching takes place or a leaf or a flower stalk grows.
