Solution
The correct option is E B, C and E only
Companion cells are small, living cells found in the sieve tubes. These cells are rich in cytoplasm and are actively metabolic. The function is providing energy for transportation of food materials by active process.
Sclerenchyma fibres are dead cells, long with tapering ends, have a uniform thickening, leaving a narrow lumen. They are found below the epidermis, cortex, around vascular bundles.
Therefore, the correct answer is option E.
