Solution
The correct option is C Astrosclereids
- Sclereids are highly thickened dead sclerenchyma cells with very narrow cavities. These can also be branched. They provide stiffness to the parts in which they occur.
- Sclereids are of many types: brachysclereids, macrosclereids, osteosclereids, astrosclereids, trichosclereids and filiform sclereids.
- Astrosclereids are star-shaped, having various branches or arms. They are found in intercellular spaces of leaves and stems of many hydrophytes like
ymphaea.Hence the correct option is D.
