Solution

The correct option is C Middle lamella
Plant cell is surrounded by cellulosic cell wall. The cell walls of two adjacent cells are separated by middle lamella which literally means middle plate or middle membrane. Middle lamella is actually the cementing layer between two plant cells. It is absent on the outer surface. It ruptures to create intercellular spaces wherever required. It is formed of calcium and magnesium pectate.
