I.  In secondary growth in dicot stems, the amount of secondary phloem produced is more than secondary xylem
II.  The cambium is generally more active on the outer side than the inner
 
1. Both I and II are true and II explains I
2. Both I and II are true but II does not explain I
3. I is true but II is false

At some places the cambium forms a narrow band of parenchyma, which passes through the secondary xylem and the secondary phloem in radial directions. These are called as:
1. Interfascicular cambium
2. Secondary medullary rays
3. Cork cambium
4. Intrafascicular cambium
