Options:
A) Parenchymatous
B) Collenchymatous

D) Suberised
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
After the process of abscission of leaf, the tissue at the scar is exposed to the air.
To protect these tissues from desiccation and infection a protective layer of cells is formed.
This layer is either developed by the suberization of already existing parenchyma cells (primary protective layer) or by a typical periderm (secondary protective layer). So, the correct option is D.
