DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -When the parenchyma consists of chlorophyll, it is called Chlorenchyma. Hence, option, ‘D: Chlorenchyma’ is the correct answer. Note: Chlorenchyma cells perform photosynthesis and manufacture food for the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -However, to allow photosynthesis, collenchyma cell walls are generally translucent, enabling light to be transmitted to the chloroplasts in tissues below.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parenchyma cells are essential for activities like photosynthesis, storage, secretion, assimilation, respiration, excretion and radial transport of water and solute.
