  2. B
    Shoot apical meristem
  3. C
    Position of axillary buds
  4. D
    Size of leaf lamina

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Intercalary meristems are located at the base of nodes or internodes in grasses like sugarcane. They are responsible for the elongation of internodes, and variations in their activity lead to variable internode lengths.
