Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

The epidermis is the outermost cellular layer of the plant body.

Generally, it consists of a single layer of epidermal cells.

But in case of some xerophytes like Nerium, multiple epidermises made up of many layers, thick epidermal cells are present. So the correct option is ’ Nerium'.
