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.
