Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Xylem vessels and tracheids are dead, hollow cells at functional maturity, providing a continuous tube for water transport. Phloem sieve tube elements are living cells at maturity, though they lack a nucleus, and are responsible for transporting organic nutrients. Cambium (vascular and cork) is a lateral meristem responsible for secondary growth (increase in girth), while apical meristems are responsible for primary growth (increase in length). Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.
