Answer 1

The correct option is C A - 4, B - 5, C - I, D - 2, E - 3

a) Passage cells often occur in the endodermis.

b) Stomata are cells in the epidermis of leaves. It is also called accessory or subsidiary cells.

c) Sieve tubes are related to companion cells and both are portions of plant phloem.

d) Lenticels are spongy openings in the periderm. It helps in gaseous exchange.

e) Mesophyll of a leaf comprises palisade cells that work in the absorption of light for photosynthesis.

Thus the answer is matching "A−4, B−5, C−1, D−2, E−3".

The correct option is C.
