Solution

The correct option is B Tapetal cells
Ubisch bodies are produced by tapetal cells. They are produced by secretory or glandular tapetal cells. These cells secrete sporopollenin, pollankitt and compatibility proteins. These cells provide Ubisch bodies which helps in ornamentation of exine as they have a chemical called sporopollenin which is deposited on them.
