Solution

The correct option is A
Parenchyma cells

The presence of a large vacuole clearly indicates that the permanent slide consists of plant cells. These plants cells are isodiametric. 'Iso' means same and the diameter refers to the dimensions of the cell. Hence, isodiametric cells are the ones with a relatively equal diameter in all planes. i.e. roughly circular or polyhedral. These are all characteristics of parenchyma cells.
