Solution
The correct option is A Epidermis and collenchyma The hypocotyl is the Germinating seedling stem which is normally found underneath the seed leaves but above the roots. This leaf-like structure grows in response to light stimulation. Hypocotyl gradually develops into the stem.
So, the correct option is 'Epidermis and collenchyma'.
