Solution

The correct option is B Endodermis
There are various layers of cells in the root. The cortical layer which is present on the innermost side is called as endodermis. The cells of endodermis are barrel-shaped. These cells are closely packed, suberized and its thickening is called as casparian strips. There are certain cells which are not suberised called as passage cells
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
