$\begin{array}{cc}\text{Column A}& \text{Column B}\\ \left(a\right)\text{Chlorenchyma}& \left(i\right)\text{P}\\ \left(b\right)\text{Q}& \left(ii\right)\text{Air cavities}\\ \left(d\right)\text{R}& \left(iv\right)\text{Food storage}\end{array}$

• A. P-Chloroplast, Q-Sclerenchyma, R-Aerenchyma
• B. P-Chloroplast, Q-Aerenchyma, R-Storage tissue
• C. P-Storage tissue, Q-Aerenchyma, R-Chlorenchyma
• D. P-Chloroplast, Q-Collenchyma, R-Aerenchyma

Answer 1

The correct option is B P-Chloroplast, Q-Aerenchyma, R-Storage tissue

• The parenchyma which contains chloroplasts is called chlorenchyma. It is involved in the manufacture of food.
• Parenchyma which contains large air cavities or spaces is called aerenchyma. These air cavities store gases. It provides buoyancy to plants.
• Storage tissue is responsible for storage of water or food or waste products.
