Solution

The correct option is B Nerium
In xerophytes, like Nerium, the protodermal cells divide periclinally to form multiseriate or multiple epidermises. The outermost layers of multiple epidermises are similar to a simple epidermis. Multiple epidermises in Nerium occur in both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. It is a xerophytic adaptation. So, the correct answer is option B.
