Solution

The correct option is B Xylem parenchyma
The xylem contains xylem vessel, xylem parenchyma, xylem tracheid and xylem fibers. Among these components, xylem tracheids, xylem vessels, and xylem fibers are dead components of xylem tissues because they are highly lignified and clarified. Xylem parenchyma is the living component of xylem tissue and helps in storage.
Hence, the correct answer is (B).
