Solution

The correct option is D Xylem parenchyma
Parenchyma cells are the only live cells in the xylem. Thin cell walls, big vacuoles, a conspicuous nucleus, and protoplasts characterise them. They come in a variety of morphologies, but the most common are cylindrical and lobed. The xylem parenchyma cells in the trunks of woody plants are colourless and are thought to be important in storing starch, oils, and other ergastic compounds. They aid in water lateral conduction.

The liquid connective tissue A circulates in our body continuously without stopping. This tissue contains a pigment B which imparts it a colour C. The tissue A consists of four components D, E, F and G. The component D fights infection and protects us from diseases. The component E helps in the clotting of tissue A if a person gets a cut. The component F is a liquid which consists mainly of water with many substances dissolved in it and component G carries oxygen from the lungs to all the parts of the body.
