Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Desmosomes are composed of desmosome-intermediate filaments complesxes. This is a network of cadherin proteins, keratin intermediate filaments.

This DIFCs can be broken down into three regions, extracellular core regions, inner dense plaque and desmoglea outer dense plaque.

These cells are specialized for cell to cell adhesion and are found usually at the places where there is more mechanical stress.
