The correct option is B Vessel
The xylem vessels are broad ended, elongated and cylindrical elements and have a lumen wider than tracheids. They are commonly found in Angiosperms and advanced Gymnosperms. Their end walls are perforated to allow movement of water. The end walls may have a simple or multiple perforation pits.
