- A. Intrafascicular cambium
- B. Interfascicular cambium
- C. Phellogen
- D. Intercalary meristem
Explanation
(d): Meristem is classified on the basis of position in plant bodies into lateral meristem, apical meristem, and intercalary meristem. Lateral meristem is present on the lateral sides, e.g., vascular cambium (fascicular and interfascicular cambium) and cork cambium (phellogen).

About Growth and Development
Embryonic development covers fertilization, cleavage, formation of the blastula and gastrula, germ layers, organ formation and differentiation. Regeneration describes the replacement of lost tissues or body parts, whereas ageing involves gradual cellular and physiological changes linked to reduced repair, altered metabolism and declining organ function.
