A) apical meristem
B) lateral meristem
C) intercalary meristem

Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] Girth of the stem increases due to lateral meristematic tissues. This increase in the diameter and girth of the plant and is called secondary growth. The apical meristem is situated at the growing tip of stems, root and also at the apices of leaf. They bring about elongation, i.e. increase in height (primary growth) of the plant. Intercalary meristem are located at base of leaf and internode and produces an increase in the length of an organ.
