Food creation, storage, and support during/after growth.
A
Ground
B
Vascular
C
Dermal
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Parenchyma cells store food material in the form of oil, fats, proteins, and starch, for example, parenchymatous tissues in roots and stem tubers. So, parenchyma is a simple permanent tissue that helps in storing food in plants.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parenchyma is the one which helps in storage of food in plants. Therefore, this is the correct option. Collenchymas is the kind of tissue that is made up of elongated cells and it provides support, structure, mechanical strength and flexibility to the various parts of the plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Often times, tissues that are not considered dermal or vascular tissue are noted as ground tissue. These cells store molecules (such as starch), photosynthesize (such as mesophyll cells), or support the plant. There are three types of ground tissue: collenchyma, sclerenchyma, and parenchyma.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells keep food in plastids known as leucoplasts. Leucoplasts store the reserved food as starch grains, oil droplets, or proteins. They are classified as amyloplasts, elaioplasts, and aleuroplasts, depending on whether they store starch, lipids, or protein.
