Solution

The correct option is A Lignin
The chief mechanical tissue of the plant body composed of highly thick walled cell with little or no protoplasm is called sclerenchyma. The thickening of cell wall is due to deposition of cellulose or lignin or both. Lignin deposited cells are said to be lignified.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
