Show Answer

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 the terms in List - I with their correct biological descriptions/terms in List - II step-by-step:

(a) Cells with active cell division capacity:
Cells that retain the capacity to divide continuously are known as meristematic cells, which make up the Meristematic tissue. Therefore, (a) matches with (ii).

(b) Tissue having all cells similar in structure and function:
A plant tissue composed of only one type of cell that performs a common function is called a Simple tissue (such as parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma). Therefore, (b) matches with (iv).

(c) Tissue having different types of cells:
Tissues made up of more than one type of cell working together as a unit are called complex tissues. Vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) are classic examples of complex tissues as they contain different kinds of cells (like vessels, tracheids, parenchyma, and fibers). Therefore, (c) matches with (i).

(d) Dead cells with highly thickened walls and narrow lumen:
Sclereids are spherical, oval, or cylindrical, highly thickened dead sclerenchyma cells with very narrow cavities (lumen). Therefore, (d) matches with (iii).

Combining these matching pairs gives us the final sequence:
(a) - (ii)
(b) - (iv)
(c) - (i)
(d) - (iii)
