The correct answer is:
C

Oblique septa (slanting cross-walls) in rhizoids are a distinguishing feature of mosses (class Bryopsida). In mosses like Funaria, the rhizoids are multicellular, branched, and possess these characteristic oblique septa. These structures primarily serve to anchor the plant and assist in the absorption of water and minerals.
