The correct option is B Brachysclereids
Sclereids may occur singly or in groups. They provide stiffness to the part in which they occur. The important types of sclereids are stone cells or brachysclereids, macrosclereids, osteosclereids, astrosclereids, filiform selereids and trichosclereids. Brachysclereids are unbranched, short and isodiametric with ramiform (branched) pits and are responsible for grittiness of guava, sapota, apple and pea. So, the correct answer is 'Brachysclereids.'
