Vascular cambium gives rise to which of the following tissues?
A) Primary phloem
B) Periderm
C) Epidermis
D) Secondary xylem
E) Cork cambium
Vascular Cambium
A layer of meristematic tissue in plants that produces vascular tissues, contributing to the thickness growth of stems and roots.
Secondary Xylem
The part of the xylem that is formed after the plant's initial growth, contributing to the thickening of the plant stem.
Primary Phloem
The part of the plant's vascular system that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Vascular cambium is responsible for the production of secondary xylem (and secondary phloem), which are tissues involved in the transport of water, nutrients, and photosynthates in plants. It does not give rise to primary phloem, periderm, epidermis, or cork cambium.
