Identify A,B, P and Q, in the given diagram below. Select the correct option identifying them.

• A. A-Shoot apical meristem, P-leaf primordium.
  B-Root apical meristem, Q-Protoderm.
• B. A-Root apical meristem, P-Axillary bud.
  B-Shoot apical meristem, Q-Protoderm.
• C. A-Shoot apical meristem, P-Axillary bud.
  B-Root apical meristem, Q-Root cap.
• D. A-Shoot apical meristem, P-leaf primordium.
  B-Root apical meristem, Q-Lateral meristem.
