Solution
The correct option is A parenchyma Parenchyma is an example of a simple permanent living tissue. It is called permanent as it has, temporarily or permanently, lost the ability to divide. It is called simple as it is a homogenous tissue made up of the same type of cells. It is living as it is nucleated and has protoplasm.
Fibres and sclereids are types of sclerenchyma. Sclerenchyma is a simple dead mechanical tissue. The cell wall is made up of cellulose and lignin.
Meristems are tissues found in the growing regions of the plant. The cells continuously divide in the meristematic tissues. They are made up of thin-walled cells whose walls are made up of cellulose.
