Solution
The correct option is B Desmosomes
A desmosome (also known as macula adherens) is a cell structure specialized for cell-to-cell adhesion. Desmosomes help to resist shearing forces. They are found in simple and stratified squamous epithelium. The intercellular space is very wide (about 30 nm). Desmosomes are also found in muscle tissue where they bind the muscle cells to one another.
