Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Ground tissue makes up the bulk of the plant body and includes tissues for storage, photosynthesis, and support. Vascular cambium produces secondary xylem and phloem for growth in girth, cork cambium produces outer bark for protection, pericycle is a tissue in the roots that gives rise to lateral roots, and dermal tissue is the outer protective covering of the plant.
