Solution

The correct option is A Meristematic tissue
Potato tubers have nodes or eyes from which the new growth begins. It is possible to generate an entire potato plant as these nodes have meristematic tissue which has the ability to divide and generate new cells.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
