Solution
The correct option is C being imperforated
Tracheary elements are dead, hollow cells with patterned cell walls that consist of xylem vessels and tracheids. They function as conductive hollow tubes for water and nutrient conduction throughout the plant body. Both vessels and tracheids are dead cells lacking nucleus and protoplasm at maturity. Both of them have thick lignified walls. But only vessels have perforations in their common walls or their endplates.
Casparian strips are hydrophobic cell wall impregnations found in the innermost layer of the cortex (endodermis) of the roots of all the higher plants.
