Correct option is (b) cork cambium and cork
In the dicot stem, the cortical cells get differentiated to give rise to another meristematic tissue, which is called cork cambium or phellogen. On the other side, it forms phellem (cork) and in the inner region it forms secondary cortical cells (phelloderm).
