Answer:

c. apical meristem

Explanation:

this is because it is present in the root and shoot tips and thus helps the plant to grow by cell division

hope it helps :)

Answer:

Most active cell division occurs in the cells of c) apical meristem because it is a plant tissue made up of actively dividing cells that produce new cells that differentiate into new plant tissues and it occurs at the tips of root and shoot.

Explanation:

What is apical meristem:

  • The root and shoot tips of plants have an apical meristem, which is an area of cells capable of division and growth.
  • Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are in charge of root and shoot extension.
  • Apical meristem is one of three types of meristem, or tissue which can differentiate into different cell types.
  • In plants, the meristem is the tissue where growth takes place. .
  • In woody plants, intercalary meristem grows between branches, whereas lateral meristem grows in girth.

What are xylem and phloem:

  • Water, nutrients, and minerals are transported via tissues in plants.
  • Water and mineral salts are transported from the roots to other parts of the plant by xylem.
  • Sucrose and amino acids are transported between the leaves and other sections of the plant via phloem.
