Solution

The correct option is D Parenchyma
Parenchyma is a simple permanent tissue made up of similar cells. It stores air and water. The parenchyma cells which stores air are known as aerenchyma. The channels of air-filled cavities provide a low resistance internal pathway for the exchange of gasses, such as oxygen and ethylene between the plant above the water and the submerged tissues. Aerenchyma is also widespread in aquatic and wetland plants, which must grow in hypoxic soils. Thus, option B is correct.
