Solution

The correct option is C sclerenchyma
The hypodermis layer in a monocot stem is generally formed of thick-walled non-green sclerenchymatous fibres. It is present just below the epidermis. The sclerenchyma cells are lignified and without any intercellular spaces. It is involved in mechanical strength and rigidity to the plant.
