The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding meristematic cells, we need to analyze each of the three statements provided and determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement (i)**: - The statement claims that the shoot apical meristem occupies the distant most region of the stem axis. - **Explanation**: The shoot apical meristem is indeed located at the tip of the shoot, which is the uppermost part of the stem. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Analyze Statement (ii)**: - The statement claims that the meristem which occurs between mature tissues is known as intercalary meristem. - **Explanation**: Intercalary meristem is found between mature tissues, particularly at the base of leaves and internodes in some plants. This statement is also **correct**. 3. **Analyze Statement (iii)**: - The statement claims that both apical meristems and intercalary meristems are secondary meristems. - **Explanation**: Apical meristems are classified as primary meristems because they are responsible for the primary growth of the plant (lengthening). In contrast, secondary meristems arise from primary meristems and are involved in secondary growth (thickening). Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion: - The correct statements are (i) and (ii). - The incorrect statement is (iii). ### Final Answer: The correct options are **(i) and (ii)**. ---
