D. Cones
Cycads are basically composed of woody plants which have roots, a stem, leaves and reproductive structures called Cones. These cones differ from each other depending on the plant whether it is female or male. These cones vary from shape, size, color, etc. based on the sex of the plant.

Explanation:

This is an example of relating structure to function.

Cells sharing a similar origin, group together in the body to form tissues; these typically share physical features and are arranged in regular patterns cells within the human body can generally be placed into four groups:

epithelial which refers to sheets of cells covering exterior surfaces and internal organs;
connective tissue which functions to bind cells and organs together while protecting, supporting and integrating different regions.
muscle tissue which responds to simulation, allowing for movement and locomotion;
nervous tissue which responds to electrical impulses, allowing for communication between different regions of the body

Connective tissue are usually spread out in a formation called a matrix. The matrix contains lots of extracellular components which are made by cells within connective tissue; it mainly consists of a fluid ground substance which interwoven with fibers of protein. Connective tissues mainly contain cells, the ground substance and protein fibers; each of these are present in varying amounts related to the structure and function of the tissue

It is further classified in to loose and dense tissue types which exists in multiple variations; in the loose tissue, fibers are aggregated loosely without a regular arrangement and often contains large spaces. Additionally connected tissue also contains cell types like fibroblasts. The loose tissue types, like adipose act as shock-absorbers and allow water, nutrients and salts to diffuse throughout the tissue to nearby tissue and cells.

Lipid droplets found in lipocytes, are organelles made up of a core of hydrophobic lipids. This is encased in a single layer of phospholipids which arrange themselves tightly and efficiently in a ball, with their hydrophilic heads facing outwards; while their hydrophobic tails face inwards. The phospholipid monolayer may also contain embedded proteins that at as special signals for recognition.

In lipocytes, one of these droplets may take up the intracellular space (white adipose) with the nucleus pushed to one side of the spherical cell- the cell takes the shape of the droplet, which allows storage maximization. They make up a type of loosely aggregated connective tissue, called adipose tissue,which function in cell signalling, as energy storage, and insulation.
