Solution

The correct option is D Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
Collenchyma cell is the simple permanent tissue which generally has a thin wall with irregular thickening at the corners. The cell wall is composed of lignin and pectin. They provide structural support, particularly in growing shoots and leaves. Cell wall thickness is strongly affected by mechanical stress upon the plant. These are living cells. Thus, option D is correct.
