Solution

The correct option is B Cyphella
The cyphellae are small circular depressions and are found irregularly scattered on the underside of some lichens such as Sticta. They have a definite rim made of spherical thin walled cells and open into the medulla of the lichen.
So, the correct answer is 'Cyphella'
