Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Primary growth is associated with cell elongation and differentiation, while secondary growth refers to the increase in the girth of the plant through lateral meristems such as the vascular cambium. The meristematic zone is where cells actively divide and elongate, and the maturation phase involves cells attaining their maximal size.
