A
chlorenchyma
B
collenchyma
C
aerenchyma
D
xylem and phloem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Note: Mesophyll cells in leaves are responsible for photosynthesis as well as the exchange of gases from the surface of the leaf. They are composed of parenchymatous cells that are modified to possess chlorophyll in them which are known as chlorenchyma cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mesophyll tissue is made up of parenchyma cells and has chloroplasts. Such parenchyma with chloroplasts is called chlorenchyma and it performs photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : Chlorenchyma is the modification of parenchyma or specialized parenchyma.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mesophyll generally is differentiated into columnar palisade parenchyma cells and irregularly shaped spongy parenchyma cells. The palisade parenchyma tissue usually is located on the upper side of the leaf, and the spongy parenchyma on the lower side.

Detailed explanation-5: -A type of parenchymatous tissue that contains chlorophyll is known as chlorenchyma. It assists plants in performing their photosynthetic function.
