Solution

The correct option is B (i) and (ii)
  • Meristematic cells, also known as undifferentiated cells, are found in plants where growth occurs and are capable of continued cell division.
  • These cells are small and have a dense protoplasm and a prominent nucleus.
  • The vacuoles are extremely small and the cytoplasm contains proplastids and immature mitochondria.
  • So, the correct answer is '(i) and ii)'.
