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'.
