Solution

The correct option is C Complementary tissue
A lenticel is a porous tissue consisting of cells with large intercellular spaces in the periderm of the secondarily thickened organs and the bark of woody stems and roots of dicotyledonous flowering plants. It functions as a pore, providing a pathway for the direct exchange of gases between the internal tissues and atmosphere through the bark, which is otherwise impermeable to gases.
As the lenticels formation starts, the parenchyma cells found near substomatal cavity lose their chlorophyll content and irregularly divide in different plants giving rise to a mass of colourless, rounded, thin walled, loosely arranged cells, called as complementary cells. Sometimes, complementary cells produced by phellogen towards outside instead of producing cork cells. Complementary cells are living cells in lenticles. Conjunctive tissue, connective tissue and phelloderm are not the living tissue in lenticel
So, the correct answer is 'Complementary tissue'
