Vedclass · Answer

(A) Lateral meristems,such as the vascular cambium and cork cambium,are responsible for secondary growth in dicotyledonous stems. Monocotyledonous stems,such as those of the palm tree,lack a vascular cambium and therefore do not exhibit secondary growth. In contrast,Bougainvillea,Boerhavia,and Mirabilis are dicotyledonous plants that exhibit anomalous secondary growth. Therefore,the correct answer is Palm.
