Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Apical meristems at root and shoot tips contribute to primary growth (increase in length). Intercalary meristems, located at nodes and leaf bases, also aid in elongation, especially in grasses. Lateral meristems (vascular cambium, cork cambium) cause secondary growth (increase in girth). So both apical and intercalary meristems are responsible for length increase.
