Referring to Figure 35.24, which sequence accurately represents the formation of a secondary tissue in a woody shoot?

  • A: Protoderm → Epidermis → Periderm
  • B: Procambium → Vascular cambium → Secondary phloem
  • C: Ground meristem → Cork cambium → Secondary xylem
  • D: Primary phloem → Cork cambium → Cork

Explanation

Figure 35.24 shows that procambium gives rise to vascular cambium, which then produces secondary phloem and secondary xylem . This pathway accurately represents the formation of a secondary tissue.
