Solution

The correct option is B

Secondary meristem


Secondary meristem is the meristem that gives rise to secondary or supplementary tissues that constitute secondary growth. Secondary tissues either supplement or replace the primary tissues. Secondary meristem increases the girth of a plant and produces growth in thickness. Healing of wound in plant takes place by the activity of secondary meristem.
