Solution

The correct option is C Dicotyledonous stem
The living mechanical tissue is collenchymas. It is found in young stems, petioles, peduncles, pedicels, veins, veinlets and leaf margins. It is absent in root systems of all plants and stem and leaves of monocots. The cells present in collenchymas are called collocytes.
So, the correct answer is 'Dicotyledonous stem.'
