Solution

The correct option is A Hevea
In Hevea, the latex vessels are of the articulated type in which two or more parallel vessels anastomise to form coenocytic network. 'The articulated latex ducts' are also termed as 'latex vessels', which are brown in color and are formed by the fusion of several cells. A row of cells in meristem grow parallel and form articulated latex ducts.
In Calotropis, Tamarindus and Euphorbia, latex cells originate as minute structure and exhibit quick elongation and ramification by repeated branching. The 'non-articulate latex duct', also termed as 'latex cells', are the independent units and simple cells which originate as minute structure and exhibit quick elongation and ramification by repeated branching
So, the correct answer is 'Hevea'
