Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Epidermis is the outermost layer of cells covering a plant. It is overlaid by a cuticle and its functions are principally to protect the plant from injury and to reduce water loss. It also helps in gaseous exchange and transpiration. Conduction of water occurs by xylem which is a complex permanent tissue.
