Solution

The correct option is B Sclerenchyma
the sclerenchyma tissue is present in stems, around vascular bundles, in the veins of leaves and in the hard covering of seeds and nuts. It is the tissue which makes the plant hard and stiff due to the presence of lignin in the cell wall. The cells of this tissue are dead. So, the correct answer is "sclerenchyma".
