Solution

The correct options are
A Protophloem
C Protoxylem
Protoxylem and protophloem that develop in the primary stage of plants need living cells to divide and form more tissues to grow and as sclerenchymatous cells are dead and do not divide they lack sclerenchyma cells.
So, the correct options are A and B.
