Solution

The correct option is C Suberin
Cork cells have major component of suberin. Cork is an impermeable, buoyant material, a prime-subset of bark tissue that is harvested for commercial use primarily from Quercus suber, which is endemic to southwest Europe and northwest Africa.
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, the most common of which is for wine stoppers.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
