• A. A-II B-III C-IV D-I
• B. A-II B-IV C-I D-III
• C. A-III B-II C-IV D-I
• D. A-II B-III C-I D-IV

Answer 1

The correct option is A A-II B-III C-IV D-I

• Tracheids are elongated, narrow tube-like cells with thick lignified walls with large cell cavity.
• They have pointed and tapering ends. They are dead empty cells with pits on their walls. They do not have perforations.
• Vessels are the tubular structure. The vessel members are connected by means of plates with pores and are known as perforation plates through which water moves upward.
• These are perforated cells. Xylem parenchyma cells are made up of thin cellulosic walls. Xylem is a complex tissue that has highly thickened walls and obliterated central lumen.
  So, the correct option is A.
