- B.(a)-(iii); (b)-(ii); (c)-(iv); (d)-(i)
- C.(a)-(ii); (b)-(iv); (c)-(i); (d)-(iii)✓
- D.(a)-(iv); (b)-(iii); (c)-(ii); (d)-(i)
Correct Answer
(C) (a)-(ii); (b)-(iv); (c)-(i); (d)-(iii)
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (c) (a)-(ii); (b)-(iv); (c)-(i); (d)-(iii). Solution: (a) Meristematic tissues retain the capacity for active cell division. (b) A simple tissue is made of one type of cell, so all cells are similar in structure and function. (c) Vascular (complex) tissues such as xylem and phloem are made of more than one type of cell. (d) Sclereids are dead sclerenchyma cells with highly thickened (lignified) walls and a narrow lumen. This gives the combination (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii).
