Correct option (a) intercalary meriste
Explanation
Intercalary meristems are derived from the apical meristems and separated from the same by permanent cells. These meristems occur at leaf bases and above or below the nodes (e.g. grass, mint). They help in elongation of leaves and internodes besides allowing the prostrate stems to become erect.
