Correct Answer :

Option A

a - (ii) b - (iv) c - (i) d - (iii)

a - (ii) b - (iv) c - (i) d - (iii)

Solution :

The correct option is: a - (ii) b - (iv) c - (i) d - (iii).

Let us analyze and match each item from List - I with List - II step-by-step:

(a) Cells with active cell division capacity:
Meristematic tissues consist of actively dividing cells that are responsible for the primary and secondary growth of the plant. Therefore, (a) matches with (ii) Meristematic tissue.

(b) Tissue having all cells similar in structure and function:
Simple tissues are composed of only one type of cell, all of which are structurally and functionally similar (e.g., parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma). Therefore, (b) matches with (iv) Simple tissue.

(c) Tissue having different types of cells:
Complex tissues, also known as vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), are composed of more than one type of cell working together as a unit to conduct water, minerals, and food. Therefore, (c) matches with (i) Vascular tissues.

(d) Dead cells with highly thickened walls and narrow lumen:
Sclereids are a type of sclerenchyma cell. They are dead cells characterized by highly thickened lignified cell walls and a very narrow cavity or lumen. Therefore, (d) matches with (iii) Sclereids.

Combining all the matches, we get:
a - (ii), b - (iv), c - (i), d - (iii)
