  3. CActivity of cambium depends upon variation in climate.
  4. DAnnual rings are not prominent in trees of temperate region.

Correct answer: D

Solution

(d) The cyclical activity of cambium produces annual rings. Climate conditions in temperate zones are rarely consistent throughout the year. The climatic conditions in the tropics, on the other hand, are consistent throughout the year. As a result, in temperate plants, cambium is more active in the spring and less active in the autumn.
