Options
- AA-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
- BA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- CA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- DA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
Correct answer
C. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Step-by-step solution
Conjunctive tissue is the parenchymatous tissue present between the xylem and phloem in roots. Casparian strips are the water-impermeable, waxy suberin depositions present on the radial and tangential walls of endodermal cells. Subsidiary cells are the specialised epidermal cells present in the vicinity of guard cells. Starch sheath is the endodermis of a dicot stem, as its cells are rich in starch grains. Thus, the correct match is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II. Answer: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
