Solution

The correct option is B Collenchyma
Collenchyma is living mechanical tissue, found beneath the epidermis (i.e., hypodermis) of herbaceous dicot stem. The intercellular spaces in this tissue are absent because in intercellular spaces at the corner of cells thickenings of cellulose and pectin develop due to which the cell wall become rigid and thick at corners.
