Solution

The correct option is A Guard cells
The cell surrounding the stomata is known as guard cells. They are two highly specialized cells. They are dumbbell shaped in grasses and Kidney-shaped in dicotyledons. They have nucleus, chloroplasts, starch grains, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and ribosomes. They regulate the rate of transpiration by opening and closing the stomata.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
