Solution

The correct option is A D
Parenchyma is a simple, permanent tissue - function - storage, photosynthesis, buoyancy etc
Sclerenchyma- dead, lignified tissue - function-mechanical support.
Xylem -complex permanent tissue - function conduction of water and mineral, ascent of sap.
Phloem-complex permanent tissue- conduction of food from source to sink
The incorrect pair is - phloem-conduction of water and minerals
So, the correct answer is D.
