Which of the following pairs of tissue descriptions and their corresponding examples is incorrectly matched?

Options

  1. ATissue having all cells similar in structure and function : Phloem in angiosperms
  2. BTissue with active cell division : Intercalary meristem in grasses
  3. CDead cells with highly thickened walls and narrow lumen : Sclereids in pulp of guava
  4. DTissue having all cells similar in structure and function : Parenchyma in cortex

Correct answer

A. Tissue having all cells similar in structure and function : Phloem in angiosperms

Step-by-step solution

According to NCERT, simple tissues are made of only one type of cells (all cells similar in structure and function), such as parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. Complex tissues are made of more than one type of cells and work together as a unit. Phloem is a complex tissue, not a simple tissue. In angiosperms, phloem is composed of four different types of cells: sieve tube elements, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, and phloem fibres. Intercalary meristem in grasses is a meristematic tissue capable of activ
