    D)  pericycle

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     In dicot stems, the cells of cambiu present between primary xylem and prima phloem is the intrafasicular cambium. The cells of medullary rays, adjoining these intrafascicular     cambium      become meristematic and form the interfascicular cambium.
