Answer

B

Explanation

A meristem or meristematic tissue (Gk. Meristosdivided ) is a simple tissue which can divide parenchyma cells containing chloroplasts are collectively termed as chlorenchyma. It takes part in the maufacture of food (photosynthesis). Storage parenchyma is made of large sized vacuolated cells which store water, mucilage and food, e.g, Aloe, Opuntia, potato tuber. Collenchyma provides mechanical strength to young dicot stems, petioes and leaves. Sclerenchyma is of two types, sclerenchyma fibres and sclereids. Epidermal tissue sytem forms the outermost covering of plant body. It consists of epidermis and epidermal appendages. Epidermis is made of epidermal cells and stomata.
