Solution

The correct option is B Very thick
The above figure shows the complex structure of the stomatal apparatus which is required to perform the function of the stomata. The function of the stoma or pore is to allow the exchange of the gases in the plants and these pores are controlled by the specialized epidermal cells. The stomatal opening and closing are controlled by the parts of this apparatus which includes the guard cell surrounding the stoma and the subsidiary cells also called accessory cells surrounding the guard cells. From the figure it is also clear that the inner walls of the guard cells in contact with the stomatal pore are very thick.
So, the correct answer is option A.
