Hi! I see why you put D, as this is the very tip of the root. However, the question specifies that it is in the root apical meristem region that mitosis occurs. This region is located just above the area of D, in the last part of the dark grey area of C. This is why the answer is C. I will see if I can attach a diagram so you can see the location of this region☺️Hope this helps!
