Solution

The correct option is B Endodermis of root
The endodermis is the innermost layer of the cortex and is made up of a single layer of barrel-shaped cells without intercellular spaces.

Cortex in roots is made up of several layers of parenchyma cells and has intercellular spaces. Cortex helps in the storage of food and the conduction of water and mineral salts.

The Spongy parenchyma is made up of parenchyma cells that contain chloroplasts. Spongy parenchyma of the leaf has large intercellular spaces with air cavities.
