Correct answer: (a) Bulliform cells

Explanation:

In grasses, adaxial epidermal cells along the veins modify themselves into large, empty, colorless cells. These are called bulliform cells.

When there is water stress leaves curl themselves inward to minimise water loss.

When the cells have absorbed water and are turgid, the leaf surface is exposed.
