Solution
The correct option is C Meristems The meristematic tissue has the immense potential for division. They have a nucleus and cytoplasm. These cells are the thin-walled cells which divide and are involved in growth and development of the plant body. These cells divide and form the clump of cells which further undergoes maturation to form specialized cells.
