Solution

The correct option is D endodermis
The endodermis in roots is comprised of a single layer of barrel-shaped cells without any intercellular spaces. The tangential and radial walls of the endodermal cells have a deposition of suberin (water-impermeable, waxy material) known as casparian strips.
