D Correct answer
Explanation

The assertion is false because secondary growth DOES occur in dicot stems through cambium activity. The reason is true - cambium is indeed meristematic tissue responsible for secondary growth. Since the assertion is factually incorrect while the reason is correct, option D is the right answer. This pattern shows assertion-reason logic.
