Solution

The correct option is C Lignin and suberin
The innermost cortical layer of dicot root is called endodermis. Many cells get suberized on their radial and inner walls. The cells are barrel-shaped and are closely packed, such thickenings are called as Casparian strips which contain lignin and suberin.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
