Solution
The correct option is E Callose Sieve-tube members are tubular in structure. These are continuously placed and have specialized sieve areas called as sieve plates which occur at the end. Sieve areas have several perforations through which the adjacent sieve cells are interconnected by protoplasmic strands. They are impregnated by callose at maturity. Therefore, the correct answer is option E.
