Roots Branch by Forming New Meristems in The

Roots branch by forming new meristems in the:

A) axillary position relative to root hairs, analogous to shoot branching from buds axillary to leaves.
B) pith, a source of stored carbohydrate for growth of the new root.
C) epidermis, which allows roots to initiate in response to local soil conditions.
D) pericycle, thereby maintaining continuous contact with the vascular system of the parent root.
