AGuard cells of the stomatal pore
BSubsidiary cells along epidermis
CBulliform cells of grass leaves
DBundle sheath cells around vein
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Guard cells of the stomatal pore
Each stoma has two bean-shaped guard cells (dumb-bell in grasses) that flank the stomatal pore.
Subsidiary cells are accessory cells adjacent to guard cells.
Together they form the stomatal apparatus.
