Solution

The correct option is B Sclerenchyma cells
Lignin is a component of the cell walls of sclerenchymatous cells.
Two types of sclerenchyma cells exist - fibres and sclereids. Their walls consist of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin.
Sclerenchyma cells are the dead cells in plant tissues that play a vital role in providing mechanical support to the plants.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
