Solution

The correct option is A Parenchyma

Parenchyma is the simple permanent plant tissue and it contains non-specialized cells with thin cell walls. Parenchyma helps in storing food and providing support to the plants. The parenchyma of stem and roots helps to store the water and nutrient.

Collenchyma tissue is made up of elongated cells with irregularly thickened walls. Xylem is the tissue in the vascular plants. Its cells have thick, hard walls. Xylem tissue dies soon after its production. Phloem also called bast, are tissues in plants that conduct the foods made in the leaves to its all other parts.

So answer A is correct.
