Solution

The correct option is D Transverse junction
Cell junctions are a class of cellular structures comprising multi-protein complexes that provide contact between neighboring cells. In vertebrates, there are three major types of cell junction: Adherens junctions, desmosomes, and hemidesmosome (anchoring junctions) Gap junctions (communicating junction) Tight junctions (occluding junctions). Transverse junctions are not cell-to-cell junctions.
So the correct answer is option D.
