• B. Cell enlargement
• C. Plasmodesmatal connections
• D. Cell wall deposition

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Plasmodesmatal connections

• Plasmodesmatal connections are not the characteristic cells of the phase of elongation, rather they represent the cells of the meristematic phase of growth.

• Some characteristics of the cells of the phase of elongation include increased vacuolation, cell enlargement and new cell wall deposition which gives strength to the existing cell wall.
