(i) $\to$ (d), (ii) $\to$ (c), (iii) $\to$ (a), (iv) $\to$ (b)

Answer 1

1. Parenchyma forms the major component within organs and is closely packed or have intercellular space and are living with the ability of cell 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 provide mechanical support and are economically important. These are commonly found in fruit wall of nuts, the husk of the coconut, seed coat of legumes and jute, etc.
3. Collenchyma is found in the hypodermis in dicot plants and provides mechanical support to the plant, helps in bending and provides tensile strength to stem.
4. Sclereids are non-parenchymatous cell that does not have pointed ends. These are dead cells and are of different shapes and provide stiffness and mechanical strength to plant as well as produce hard texture for the protection of fruit and seed.

So the correct options are: -Jute Sclerenchyma

Bending Collenchyma

Protection of seeds Sclereids

Cell division Parenchyma
