Solution

The correct option is D Sclereids
Sclereids are a reduced form of sclerenchyma cells with highly thickened, lignified cellular walls that form small bundles of durable layers of tissue in most plants. The presence of numerous sclereids form the cores of apples and produce the gritty texture of guavas and pears.
So, the correct answer is 'Sclereids.'
