Secondary growth refers to the growth that results from the activity of the cambium, a layer of cells that produces new vascular tissue and increases the thickness of stems and roots. This type of growth is characteristic of woody plants. Among the options given, the rose bush (D) is the only plant that typically exhibits significant secondary growth due to its woody nature. Strawberry, daffodil, Bermuda grass, and pansy are primarily herbaceous and do not exhibit significant secondary growth.
