Solution

The correct options are
B Cellulose
C Pectin
The cell walls of collenchyma cells are made up of cellulose and pectin. Lignin is generally absent in collenchyma. Deposition of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin result in cells that are thickened at the corners, leaving no intercellular space in the tissue.
