Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
Oil glands are present in many plants. They are made of small groups of thin walled cells which are full of cytoplasmic contents. These cells possess secretory activities. Such, secretions are collected in cavities which are developed either schizogenously or lysigenously. Schizogenous cavity is formed by separation of cells at middle lamellae. Lysigenous cavity is made by dissolution of cells. Schizogenous oil glands are present in leaves and bark of Eucalyptus plant. Lysigenous oil glands are present pericarp of fruits of Citrus.
