Which of the following correctly explains the intercalary meristem and its role in plant growth?
1. A meristematic tissue located at the apex of the root, responsible for the elongation of primary roots.
2. A meristematic tissue occurring between mature tissues, contributing to the regeneration of parts removed by grazing herbivores, particularly in grasses.
3. A secondary meristematic tissue responsible for producing cork and secondary vascular tissues in woody plants.
4. A permanent tissue forming the protective covering of leaves and stems, minimizing water loss.

Consider the following statements about meristems:

Statement I: Intercalary meristems are located between mature tissues and contribute to the regeneration of organs in grasses.

1. Only one
2. Both
3. None

Consider the given two statements:

Statement A: The primary meristem in plants appears later than the secondary meristem and is responsible for producing secondary tissues.
Statement B: Lateral meristems such as fascicular vascular cambium and cork cambium are cylindrical in shape and contribute to the formation of secondary tissues.
