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.
