In a longitudinal section of a root, starting from the tip upward, the four zones occur in the following order:

1. Root cap, cell division, cell enlargement, cell maturation
2. Root cap, cell division, cell maturation, cell enlargement
3. Cell division, cell enlargement, cell maturation, root cap
4. Cell division, cell maturation, cell enlargement, root cap

Correct answer: Root cap, cell division, cell enlargement, cell maturation

Solution

The root tip is covered by the root cap, which protects the delicate meristem as the root pushes through soil. Above that, cells divide in the meristem, then elongate, and finally mature into specialized tissues.
