Solution
The correct option is C Providing support
Sclerenchyma and collenchyma are two different types of simple permanent plant tissue. They both help in providing support. Collenchyma cells provide mechanical support to extra structural regions like under the epidermis near the leaf stalks. Sclerenchyma cells are the main structural support of plants. Its cells are dead and provide stiffness to the stems, leaf veins, etc.
