The correct Answer is:
d
Phellogen or cork cambium is a part of periderm. It presents between phellem or cork towards outerside and phelloderm or secondary cortex towards inner side. Phellogen appearing in the cortical regions cuts off new cells for extrastelar secondary growth - cork on the outer side and secondary cortex on the inner side.
