Solution

The correct option is D Stem of Zea mays
Lysigenous intercellular spaces- This type of intercellular space arises through dissolution of entire cells, which are therefore, called as lysigenous intercellular spaces (lysis- loosening, Greek). These cavities of intercellular spaces store up water, gases and essential oils in them. The examples are commonly found in water plants and many monocotyledonous plants. The secretory cavities in Eucalyptus, Citrus and Gossypium are good examples. Lysigenous intercellular spaces are present in monocot stems and absent in monocot leaves, roots and Helianthus.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
