Solution

The correct option is A Sclereids
  • The grittiness of fruit can be attributed to the presence of stone cells or sclereids.
  • These stone cells are dead in nature and have a small lumen.
  • The sclereids are distributed in the pulp of fruits and in the cortex, pith and phloem of stems in pyrus or pear.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Sclereids'.
