Answer 1

The correct option is D (a) and (d) only

Plant tissues have simple organization and dead supporting tissues are more abundant than living tissues in them. The growth of plants is limited to certain regions and they require less maintenance energy than animals.
On the other hand, animal tissues have complex organization and living tissues are more abundant than dead tissues. Animal tissues grow upto a certain period of time and they require more energy for maintenance. Therefore, the differences (a) and (d) are correct.
