Solution

The correct option is B Endodermis
The endodermis layer of roots has a deposition of water-impermeable, waxy material called suberin. It is deposited on the radial and tangential walls of the endodermal cells and is called casparian strips.

Epidermis/Epiblema is the outermost layer of roots. Some cells of epiblema produce unicellular root hairs.

Pith is the central most region present in roots and is made up of parenchyma cells.

The pericycle is made up of a few layers of thick-walled parenchyma cells that help in the formation of lateral roots and vascular cambium.
