Solution

The correct option is C Dense cytoplasm devoid of lacuna
Lacuna possesses cell sap and provides rigidity and turgidity to the cell. This might pose a problem for cell division. Due to this reason, meristematic cell (dividing cells) lack lacuna.
The cell wall is dissolved before the event of cell division. The dividing cell has dense cytoplasm. Lacuna is absent in the meristematic cell.
