Solution

The correct option is C Zingiber.
Fibre is a narrow, elongated cell with thick lignified wall and narrow lumen tapering to a wedge-shape at both ends. Sometimes the deposition of lignin is so thick as to obliterate the central lumen. The fibres appear more or less angular in cross-sectional view with little intercellular spaces. The cell wall is pitted and may show slight indentation (ex. Zingiber).
So, the correct answer is 'Zingiber.'
