Solution

The correct option is B Plasmalemma
  • Glycocalyx or pericellular matrix is a carbohydrate-enriched coating of glycoprotein and a glycolipid that covers the cell membranes of few bacteria, epithelial cells and other cells.
  • It is mainly used in the recognition of the cell (distinguish between healthy and diseased cells) and also regulates the endothelial vascular tissues.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Plasmalemma'.
