c	Tissue having different types of cells	iii	Sclereids
d	Dead cells with highly thickened walls and narrow lumen	iv	Simple tissue

Select the correct answer from the options given below.

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve this question, we need to correctly match the descriptions provided in List-1 with the options in List-II. Let's analyze each item:

1. Cells with active cell division capacity: This refers to cells that are capable of dividing and differentiating into various cell types. These cells are characteristic of Meristematic tissue. Therefore, the correct match is (a) - (ii).
2. Tissue having all cells similar in structure and function: Tissues where all cells are similar and perform the same function are known as Simple tissue. Hence, the correct match is (b) - (iv).
3. Tissue having different types of cells: Such tissues are known as Vascular tissues, which include both xylem and phloem that have various cell types for transporting water, nutrients, and food. Thus, the correct match is c - (i).
4. Dead cells with highly thickened walls and narrow lumen: These are typical of Sclereids, which are a type of sclerenchyma cell known for providing hardness and support. Therefore, the correct match is d - (iii).

Based on these analyses, the correct option is:

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