Solution

The correct option is C rectangular
The cells of an onion skin are generally rectangular in shape and range in size from 0.25 to 0.4 millimeters in length. These cells lie close to each other with intercellular spaces between them. These cells are surrounded by distinct cell walls. These cells have a darkly stained nucleus and a large vacuole in the centre.
