Solution
The correct option is B Endodermis of the root
The radial walls of the endodermis are marked by characteristic thickenings, called the casparian strips. These thickenings contain lignin, suberin and phenolic oxidation products that gives the strips a dark colour. The endodermis is a typical cell layer of roots. In roots, it is localized at the periphery of the vascular cylinder.
