Solution

The correct option is C
Epiblema

Epiblema.

The root hairs that we get to see in the image are very thin and unicellular elongations of epiblema. Epiblema is the outermost layer of the root and consist of closely arranged thin walled cells. Some of these cells extend outside and form thin structures called root hairs.
