The answer is; D


These cells are called plasmodesmata. They are significant in the symplastic flow (meaning through the cytoplasm) of water and other molecules in the plant. A membrane called desmotubule runs along the pores of adjacent plasmodesmata. These cells are also significant in the communication between cells.
