Solution

The correct option is D Just inside vascular cambium
Secondary xylem is the xylem formed as a result of secondary growth of the vascular cambium. The cells between the vascular tissue connect the cambia inside the vascular tissue and forms a complete cylinder around the stem. The younger layer of the secondary xylem are thus formed just inside the vascular cambium.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
