The correct answer is : b. Hemidesmosomes.

Explanation:

  • Hemidesmosomes are responsible for attaching the cells to the extra-cellular matrix.
  • They are mostly made up of integrins.
  • Integrins are transmembrane proteins which can act as receptor to various ligands like collagen, fibronectin, laminin and help the cells to adhere themselves to the matrix.
  • Usually integrins are heterodimeric proteins comprising of alpha and beta subunits.
  • Towards the inside of the cell, integrins can bind to microfilaments present in the cytoplasm.
  • They also help in transducing signals across the cell membrane.
