B

D

Answer
Leaf of wheat
Explanation
Solution
Bulliform cells are the special cells known for its peculiar bubble like shape. The turgor pressure created due to the water present in the cells is lost during stress like transpiration or infection which allows the leaf to roll up. Once adequate water is available, these cells enlarge and the leaves open again. Bulliform cells are found in the leaf of wheat (grasses) and not in seeds of sunflower, a pod of pea and tuber of potato.
