The correct Answer is:
To determine which type of meristem produces dermal tissues, ground tissues, and vascular tissues in plants, we can analyze the options provided and the role of different types of meristems. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Meristems**: - Meristems are regions in plants where cells are actively dividing. They are responsible for the growth of the plant. 2. **Types of Meristems**: - There are three main types of meristems: - **Apical Meristem**: Located at the tips of roots and shoots, responsible for primary growth (lengthening). - **Lateral Meristem**: Involved in secondary growth (thickening), includes vascular cambium and cork cambium. - **Intercalary Meristem**: Found at the base of leaves or internodes, allows for regrowth after cutting. 3. **Identifying Tissues Produced**: - **Dermal Tissues**: These are the outer protective layer of the plant, produced by the apical meristem. - **Ground Tissues**: These tissues make up the bulk of the plant body and are also produced by the apical meristem. - **Vascular Tissues**: These include xylem and phloem, which are essential for transport within the plant, and are produced by the apical meristem. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: Lateral meristem, cork cambium, and vascular cambium - primarily involved in secondary growth. - **Option B**: Intercalary meristem and lateral meristem - not primarily responsible for dermal and ground tissues. - **Option C**: Apical meristem - responsible for producing dermal, ground, and vascular tissues. - **Option D**: Fascicular cambium and interfascicular cambium - related to vascular tissue but not dermal or ground tissues. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option C: Apical meristem**, as it is responsible for producing dermal tissues, ground tissues, and vascular tissues in the primary plant body. ### Final Answer: **The dermal tissues, ground tissues, and vascular tissues of the plants are produced by the apical meristem.**
