The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Cambium Types**: Begin by identifying what vascular cambium and cork cambium are. Both are types of cambium found in vascular plants. 2. **Identifying Functions**: Recognize the functions of these cambium types. Vascular cambium is responsible for secondary growth, which increases the girth of the plant by producing secondary xylem and phloem. Cork cambium also contributes to secondary growth by forming the outer bark layer. 3. **Categorizing Meristems**: Understand the different types of meristematic tissues: - **Apical Meristem**: Involved in primary growth (length increase). - **Lateral Meristem**: Involved in secondary growth (girth increase). - **Intercalary Meristem**: Also involved in primary growth. - **Promeristem**: Involves primordial cells. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: Given the options, determine which type of meristematic tissue vascular cambium and cork cambium belong to. Since both are involved in secondary growth, they fall under lateral meristems. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer is that vascular cambium and cork cambium are examples of lateral meristem. **Final Answer**: Vascular cambium and cork cambium are examples of lateral meristem. ---
