  4. DNone of the above

Correct answer

C. Guard cells - The guard cells possess chloroplasts and regulate the opening and closing of stomata

Step-by-step solution

Epidermal cells are parenchymatous with a small amount of cytoplasm lining the cell wall and a large vacuole. The outside of the epidermis is often covered with a waxy thick layer called the cuticle which prevents the loss of water. Cuticle is absent in roots.
