Solution

The correct option is C Cucurbita
Pith is a tissue in the stems of vascular plants, which is composed of soft, spongy parenchyma cells. The pith is surrounded by vascular tissues (xylem and phleom). In some dicots, the central part of the pith disintegrates to produce a cavity, called pith cavity. This is seen in Cucurbita.
