Solution

The correct option is A Intussusception
Many cells like plant, fungal and bacterial cell are surrounded by a rigid cell wall. Their chemical composition differs in different organisms. In plants growth of cell wall occurs only in the initial stages when the wall is immature. Intussusception is growth by deposition of new materials between existing components of cell walls. Cell elongation occurs through intussusception. In apposition, new wall layers are laid. The growth of wall in new cells occurs through apposition. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
