Solution
The correct option is B Suberin
Cork cambium produces cork cells, which form exterior to the cork cambium. In this, the cells are arranged in regular radial rows one above the other. As cork cells mature, they secrete suberin (a waxy substance) in their cell walls and which makes them impermeable then die. Cork cells function as a barrier to protect the stem from physical damage and from pathogens.
