stems only
B

C
roots, stems, and leaves
D
roots and stems only
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ground tissue is all the other tissue in a plant that isn’t dermal tissue or vascular tissue. Ground tissue cells include parenchyma, (photosynthesis in the leaves, and storage in the roots), collenchyma (shoot support in areas of active growth), and schlerenchyma (shoot support in areas where growth has ceased).

Detailed explanation-2: -As with the rest of the plant, the stem has three tissue systems: dermal, vascular, and ground tissue. Each is distinguished by characteristic cell types that perform specific tasks necessary for the plant’s growth and survival.

Detailed explanation-3: -The ground tissue system is found within each plant organ. Within leaves, the ground tissue system consists of palisade mesophyll, which are tightly compacted cells that are the site of photosynthesis. Within plant stems, the ground tissue consists of the cortex (outer stem layer) and pith (spongy stem center).

Detailed explanation-4: -The structures within roots, stems, and leaves are made up of three tissue systems: dermal, vascular, and ground tissue.

Detailed explanation-5: -A ground tissue is a plant tissue other than those of the dermal tissues and the vascular tissues. It arises from the ground meristem. It fills in the soft parts of the plants, such as cortex, pith, pericycle, etc.
