Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Collenchyma tissue
Collenchyma tissue : This tissue provides mechanical support to young stem. Its cells do thickening at corners. Xylem is a complex vascular tissue and transport water and salts.
Sclerenchyma tissue : It becomes dead at maturity. It is located in all hard parts of the plant. Epidermis is normally in the form of single layer on whole surface of the plant.
