Solution

The correct option is B Sclerenchyma fibre
Two of the most important members of sclerenchyma tissue are fibres and sclereids. Fibres are unbranched and elongated thick-walled cells. Certain plant fibres can be very long, e.g., jute, ramie, hemp. The fibre cells of ramie (Boehmeria nivea) are probably the longest cells in any terrestrial plant. The fibres of ramie can be up to 0.5 meters in length.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
