Solution

The correct option is C Collenchyma
The collenchyma occurs in layers below the epidermis or outer layer of cells in young stems and in leaf veins in dicotyledonous plants. Collenchyma cells are elongated cells with irregularly thick cell walls that provide support and structure. Their thick cell walls are composed of the compounds cellulose and pectin.
