Solution

The correct option is B If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not a correct explanation of the assertion
A distinct layer of cuticle is present in the lower epidermis. The cuticle is, however, less developed than at the upper epidermis. The lower epidermis contains a large number of pores called stomata or stomates. They lead internally into substantial cavities.
Hence the correct option is B.
