The right option is; D) cork cambium-increase in stem thickness

Cork cambium is a tissue that is located in the stem of many vascular plants. The main function of the cork cambium is to produce the cork which is a strong protective material on the plants outer surface and also to produce a layer of cells that contain chlorophyll on its inner surface.
