Both apical and axillary meristems are free of virus for the healthy plant cultivation because of strong interferon activity in this region. These tissues form a protective impermeable covering around themselves, which is non-penetrable by any pathogen. Therefore, these tissues are used in the production of disease free plants by tissue culture. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
