Solution

The correct option is C Woody tissue/Xylem cells
The cell wall of a plant cell is made up of primary and secondary cell walls. When one cell divides into two, a primary cell wall forms around each two new cells. The secondary cell wall is constructed between the plasma membrane and the primary cell wall after the cell has finished growing. It is made by laying down successive layers of cellulose microfibrils and lignins. Mature xylem cells are heavily lignified - they make up the 'wood' of woody plants.
So the correct answer is 'Woody tissue/Xylem cells.'
