Solution
The correct option is A Needle
Transfusion tissue surrounds a part of the vascular bundles in the leaves of gymnosperms, e.g. Pinus. It is composed of tracheids (transfusion tracheids) with conspicuous bordered pits, and parenchyma cells (transfusion parenchyma) containing tannin-like substances and sometimes starch. The main function of the transfusion tissue is believed to be the transport of materials between the vascular bundles and the mesophyll.
