Solution
The correct option is B Suberin
The waxy material deposited in the Casparian strip of the endodermis is suberin. The Casparian strip is a band of cell wall material deposited on the radial and transverse walls of the endodermis, and is chemically different from the rest of the cell wall - the cell wall being made of lignin and without suberin, whereas the Casparian strip is made of suberin and sometimes lignin. It blocks the passive flow of materials such as water and solutes into the stele of a plant.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
