Answer: C. Root Hair

Explanation: Single celled and large surface area, perfect for absorption of water and nutrients! Root hairs are long, thin, single cell extensions from the epidermis. They profoundly increase the overall root surface area and connection with the soil and are responsible for absorbing water and mineral nutrients.
