A
Apical
B
Lateral
C
Lentical
D
Terminal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The axillary bud (or lateral bud) is an embryonic or organogenic shoot located in the axil of a leaf.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lateral buds grow along the sides of a shoot and give rise to the sideways growth that makes a plant bushy. These buds stay dormant until the shoot has grown long enough to diminish the influence of the hormones produced by the terminal bud, or until the terminal bud is pruned off; then they begin their growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -An apical bud is the primary growing bud located at the tip of the stem in a plant. Apical buds make auxin that is distributed throughout the plant via the phloem.
