Solution

The correct option is B Bracnysclereids
  • Brachysclereid is a more or less an isodiametric sclereid typically occurring in the pith, cortex and bark of stems and in certain fruits like pears and apple.
  • Macrosclereids are column shaped and are commonly found in the epidermis and underlying layers of the seed coat.
  • Osteosclereids are columnar and are similar to macrosclerids except that they are enlarged at the ends making them bone-shaped.
  • Astrosclereids are branched, pointed, irregular (often star-shaped sclereids) as in xerophytes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
