Solution

The correct option is A Collenchyma
In vascular plants, phloem or bast is the living tissue that transports the soluble organic compounds made during photosynthesis, in particular, the sugar sucrose, to parts of the plant where they are needed. Phloem contains long sieve cells and sieve tubes, companion cells, fibres and parenchyma.
