Solution

The correct option is A Collenchyma
Collenchyma tissues are composed of oval or prismatic cells that are commonly elongated and can occur in long strands or cylinders. Collenchyma tissue is specialised to provide flexibility to various parts of the plant like petiole and stem since they are non lignified. It allows for easy bending without breakage.
