Solution

The correct option is C
Phellogen

Commercial cork is an impermeable, buoyant material. Cork is composed of suberin, a hydrophobic substance and, because of its impermeable, buoyant, elastic, and fire retardant properties, it is used in a variety of products. It is obtained from a prime-subset of bark tissue which is also called phellogen.
