Solution

The correct option is C syncytial
Tracheae, also called as xylem vessel, are similar to tracheids but have thinner cell walls and a wider lumen compared to tracheids. They are formed by fusion of cells, the cells come together and the cell walls dissolve. Hence they are usually syncytial, which means they are multinucleated.
