D)​vascular cambium

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ground meristem is responsible for producing ground tissues, while pericycle is involved in the formation of lateral roots and vascular cambium produces secondary vascular tissues. Therefore, it is only primary meristems that give rise to ground meristem.
