Solution

The correct option is A Protective tissue
Vascular bundles of the plant consist of vascular cambium or cork cambium. Cork cambium is involved in making cork. Cork is a nonliving, water resistant tissue formed in many plants to prevent water loss. Cork cells are dead and have cell walls composed of a waxy substance "suberin" which is highly impermeable to gases and water. This substance prevents water loss from the stem. Cork also protects the plant from wear and tear. Hence, it is a protective type of tissue.
Therefore, option A is correct.
