Answer 1

The correct option is D

(a)	(iv)
(b)	(ii)
(c)	(v)
(d)	(i)
(e)	(iii)

The correct Option is D:

Explanation of the correct option:

(a) Collenchyma

1. Simple permanent tissue with uneven cell wall thickenings
2. Thickenings are made of cellulose and pectin

(b) Complex tissues

1. Tissues that are made of more than one type of cells
2. Examples include xylem and phloem
3. Have transport and water-conducting functions

(c) Parenchyma

1. Simple permanent tissue made out of living cells
2. Have intercellular spaces
3. Responsible for storage of food in plants

(d) Sclerenchyma

1. Simple permanent tissues made out of matured dead cells
2. Have thick cell wall thickening made of lignin

(e) Phloem Fibres

1. Type of cell present in phloem tissue
2. Made of sclerenchyma tissue
3. Provide mechanical support to phloem

Final Answer: Hence,

Column I		Column II
(a)	Collenchyma	(iv)	thick-walled cells having thickening of cellulose and pectin
(b)	Complex tissues	(ii)	water-conducting tissues
(c)	Parenchyma	(v)	storage of food
(d)	Sclerenchyma	(i)	thick-walled tissues having deposition of lignin
(e)	Phloem fibres	(iii)	thick-walled sclerenchyma cells providing mechanical support
