Solution

The correct option is C Sclerenchymatous
Hypodermis is made up of a few layers of sclerenchymatous cells in monocot stem. It provides rigidity and strength to the stems as secondary growth is not seen in monocots. Hypodermis is generally not found in roots but if it is present (it is called exodermis in roots) it is sclerenchymatous.
