Solution
The correct option is B Q
The sclerenchyma tissue has a rectangular shaped cells. These cells are without a nucleus and cytoplasm. They show greater deposition of lignin in the walls resulting in uneven thickness and are referred to as the dead cells. Cellulose and hemicellulose are present in the sclerenchyma wall. It provides mechanical strength and stiffness to the plant. Thus the correct answer is option B.
