The correct option is A Stem fibres
Bast fibres are found in the stems of the plant providing the plant its strength. Usually, they run across the entire length of the stem and are therefore very long. These fibers are used for durable yarn, fabric, packaging, and paper. Some examples are flax, jute, kenaf, industrial hemp, ramie, rattan, and vine fibers.
