Solution

The correct option is B Torus
  • A disc-shaped thickening present on the pit membrane is torus.
  • In gymnosperms, the pit membrane forms a thickened circular or disc-shaped structure known as a torus.
  • They are made up of primary cell wall materials and are larger in diameter than a pit aperture.
  • The torus is surrounded by a structure called margo, both of them act as valves.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Torus'.
