Solution

The correct option is A protoderm
The epidermis and the waxy cuticle provide protection against mechanical injury, water loss, and infection. It is the outermost protective tissue of the plant organs. It is derived from protoderm which is a primary meristem (also called dermatogen) and consists of epidermis and epidermal outgrowths.
So, the correct answer is 'protoderm'.
