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'.
