Solution

The correct option is C p – (iii); q – (i); r – (iv); s – (ii)
Meristematic tissues are small, cuboidal, densely packed cells that keep dividing to form new cells. Parenchymatous tissues help in storage and photosynthesis.
They also help the plant to float on water. Collenchymatous tissues provide mechanical support to the plant structure in parts such as the petiole of the leaf.
Sclerenchymatous tissues provide strength and support to various parts of the plant.
