Solution

The correct option is B Sclerenchyma
  1. Parenchyma forms the major component within organs and are closely packed or have intercellular space and are living with the ability of division. They perform functions of photosynthesis, storage, and secretion.
  2. Sclerenchyma is long, narrow cells with thick and lignified cell walls having a few or numerous pits. These are commonly found in fruit wall of nuts, the husk of the coconut, seed coat of legumes, etc.
  3. Collenchyma is found in the hypodermis in dicot plants and provide mechanical support to the plant.
  4. Chlorenchyma is the modified parenchymatous tissue that helps in photosynthesis.
So, the correct option is 'Sclerenchymatous tissue'.
