Regions immediately behind the root cap that contain actively dividing cells.
A
Phloem
B
Guard Cells
C
Meristem
D
Xylem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Just behind the root cap lies the apical meristem, a tissue of actively dividing cells. Some of the cells produced by the apical meristem are added to the root cap, but most of them are added to the region of elongation, which lies just above the meristematic region.

Detailed explanation-2: -These regions of active cell division in plants are found in the growing tips of roots and stems, and they are called apical meristems.

Detailed explanation-3: -The region of Meristematic Cells or Region of Cell Division Meristematic cells are found just a few millimetres over the root cap. The cells in this region are thin-walled with dense protoplasm. These cells divide actively.

Detailed explanation-4: -The root apical meristem (RAM) is the region within the root tip from which all primary root tissues and the root cap are derived.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cell division zone-This region contains apical meristem cells that give rise to the plant’s main body. It is the space beneath and behind the root cap.
