Solution
The correct option is B Pecto-cellulosic deposits at corners In Collenchyma the walls are thickened by high amounts of pectin and hemicellulose. Protein and cellulose are also present. The composition of these alternating layers varies. One layer is rich in cellulose and poor in pectin; the alternate layer is pectin-rich and cellulose-poor.
So, the correct answer is 'Pecto-cellulosic deposits at corners.'
