Plasmodesmata are
A Connections between adjacent cells
B Lignified cemented layers between cells
C Locomotory structures
D Membranes connecting the nucleus with plasmalemma

Detailed Solution

The cell wall and middle lamella of plant cells may be traversed by plasmodesmata.
Plasmodesmata are fine cytoplasmic strands that connect the cytoplasm of neighbouring cells, forming a continuous system (symplast) for the movement of substances.
The cementing layer between cells is the middle lamella (calcium pectate), and locomotory structures are cilia and flagella.
Hence plasmodesmata are connections between adjacent cells.
