Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
A meristem may be defined as the group of cells which divide continuously to give rise to new cells.
A meristem is the tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells, found in zones of the plant where growth can take place.
Meristematic cells give rise to various organs of the plant and keep the plant growing.
Meristematic cells are packed closely together without intercellular cavities.
The cell wall is a very thin primary cell wall.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
