Solution

The correct option is B Flexibility
The mechanical tissue present in the plant body especially in the primary body of dicot stem below the epidermis forming the hypodermis is called as collenchyma. The cells are elongated with oblique, slightly rounded with tapering ends. It is composed of living and thick walled cells. The flexibility in plants is due to collenchymas. It allows easy bending in various parts of a plant (leaf, stem) with breaking.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
