Secondary meristem
C
Intercalary meristem
D
Apical meristem
Explanation
The meristem which occurs between mature tissue is known as intercalary meristem. They occur in grasses and regenerate parts removed by the grazing herbivores. Both apical meristems and intercalary meristem are primary meristem because they appear early in life of a plant and contribute to the formation of the primary plant body. A secondary meristem is a type of meristematic tissue that is responsible for secondary growth in plants, i.e. growth in girth or thickness. It is opposed to the primary meristem that is involved in the primary growth, i.e. growth in height or length.
