Collenchyma provides flexibility to the plants. It is present in the leaf stalk below the epidermis and allows the bending of various parts of plant-like tendrils and stems of climbers without breaking. Collenchyma is typically found just beneath the epidermis (the outermost layer of cells) in stems, leaf stalks (petioles), and midribs of leaves. Thus, it provides mechanical support also.
The correct option is – (d)- collenchyma
