Solution

The correct option is C Tracheids
The tracheids are elongated tubelike cells with tapering or rounded or oval ends with hard and lignified walls. The cells are without protoplast and are dead on maturity. Tracheids possess bordered pits. They also possess various kinds of thickenings, e.g., annular, spiral, scalariform, reticulate or pitted tracheids.
So, the correct answer is 'Tracheids.'
