Solution

The correct option is B Sclerenchyma
  • Sclerenchyma cells are dead cells and have a very thick cell wall due to the deposition of lignin.
  • They are present in the form of fibres or sclereids (stone cells).
  • They are located in the leaf veins, hard coverings of the seeds and vascular bundle.
  • Its main functions include- 1) providing rigidity and mechanical support to the plant body, 2) It also makes the plant stiff and hard.
  • So, the correct option is B.
