Explanation:

  • Region D is above the root tip and elongation zones and is where root hair cells (epidermal outgrowths) develop.
  • These root hairs increase the surface area for water and nutrient absorption from the soil.
  • Other regions, such as A (root cap), B (region of cell division), and C (region of elongation), do not produce root hairs.

So, the correct answer is: Region D (maturation zone).
