B.

dedifferentiation

Dedifferentiation is the process in which mature differentiated cells reverse to  meristematic activity to form callus. It is an important biological phenomenon whereby cells regress from a specialised function to a simpler state reminiscent of stem cells. Stem cells are self-renewing cells capable of giving rise to differentiated cells when supplied with the appropriate factors.
