Match List - I with List - II and choose the correct answer.

List - I	List - II
(a) Cells with active cell division capacity	(i) Vascular tissues
(b) Tissue having all cells similar in structure and function	(ii) Meristematic tissue
(c) Tissue having different types of cells	(iii) Sclereids
(d) Dead cells woth highly thickened walls abd narrow lumen	(iv) Simple tissue

To match each description in List I with the appropriate term in List II, we examine the defining characteristics of the plant tissues.

**(a) Cells with active cell division capacity** These are cells that continuously divide, which is a hallmark of meristematic tissue. In List II, meristematic tissue is labeled as (ii).

**(b) Tissue having all cells similar in structure and function** When every cell in a tissue is alike, the tissue is classified as a simple tissue. In List II, simple tissue corresponds to (iv).

**(c) Tissue having different types of cells** A tissue composed of multiple cell types forms the vascular tissue, which conducts water and nutrients. In List II, vascular tissues are denoted by (i).

**(d) Dead cells with highly thickened walls and narrow lumen** Such cells are specialized for protection and are known as sclereids. In List II, sclereids appear as (iii).

Putting the matches together gives the final pairing:

(a) – (ii), (b) – (iv), (c) – (i), (d) – (iii)
