SolutionCorrect option isAProvides mechanical support to the growing parts of the plant such as young stem and petiole of a leafCollenchyma is the primary supporting tissue in many plants. It provides mechanical support to various parts of the plant particularly growing ones such as cortex of a stem, leaves, etc. Collenchyma cells are elongated cells having thick cell walls composed of cellulose and pectin which enable them to provide additional support to the plant. Intercellular spaces are particularly present to maintain the flexibility in the tissue to avoid breakage. So, the correct answer is option A.'provides mechanical support to the growing parts of the plant such as young stem and petiole of a leaf'.
