Solution

The correct option is C Cell maturation
In a typical dicot root; root hairs are present in the zone of cell maturation. Root hairs are unicellular extensions of root epidermis, called as epiblema, which absorb water due to increased surface area for absorption. Zone of cell division, zone of elongation and root cap generally lack root hairs.
