Solution

The correct option is C Guard cells
  • Guard cells are cells surrounding each stoma. They help to regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata.
  • Lenticels are one of many raised pores in the stem of a woody plant that allows gas exchange between the atmosphere and the internal tissues.
  • Bulliform cells are large, bubble-shaped epidermal cells that occur in groups on the upper surface of the leaves of many grasses. Loss of turgor pressure in these cells causes leaves to "roll-up" during water stress.
  • Subsidiary cell is a plant epidermal cell that is located next to a guard cell in the stoma of a leaf and differs in structure from other epidermal cells; Also called an accessory cell.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
