Solution

The correct option is A Protoxylem
There are three types of tissues found in plants - parenchyma, sclerenchyma and collenchyma. The major function of the sclerenchyma tissues is support. However, these tissues are dead and have a thick wall containing lignin. These tissues are absent in protoxylem. Protoxylem is the first xylem to be formed. It is the primary xylem. It contains large amount of parenchyma -living cells.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Protoxylem.'
