You are presented with the question "Where in the plant does growth in width or girth originate?" and the following answer choices: 
- conductive tissue
 - carbon dioxide
 - Veins and arteries.
 - It gets more light
 - photosynthesis
 - at or near the margins
 - vascular tissue
 - in the autumn season

Now knowing that secondary meristem is located within and around the vascular tissues and growth in girth is caused by other meristems, called secondary meristems, choose the best answer.
