Apical meristems of dicots are at the tips of stems. Apical meristems of grasses are at ground level ...

Apical meristems of dicots are at the tips of stems. Apical meristems of grasses are at ground level or slightly below, concealed by the leaves. The leaves also have an intercalary meristem at their bases. What does this mean when considering care of a lawn or soccer field?
A) If you mow right at ground level, the leaves can keep growing with no problem.
B) Grass mowed 2 inches above ground level grows at a slower rate compared to grass mowed 3 inches above the ground level.
C) If you mow 2 inches above ground level, most apical meristems will be cut down.
D) If you mow 2 inches above ground level, both the apical and intercalary meristems can keep producing new cells.
