Solution

The correct option is A Acts as a water tight jacket
The endodermis is the outer protective layer present in the plant organelle. Water moving into or out of the xylem, which is part of the apoplast, can thereby be regulated since, it must enter by symplast in the endodermis. This allows the plant to control to some degree in the movement of water and to selectively uptake or prevent the passage of ions or other molecules.
So, endodermis mainly acts as water right jacket and not provides protection, maintains rigidity or help in transpiration.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
