Acollenchyma
Correct Answer
Bsclerenchyma
Cxylem
Dmeristem

Solution

Collenchyma: Cells of collenchyma contain protoplasm and are living. Cells walls show localized thickenings due to deposition of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin substances.
Sclerenchyma: Young cells are living but mature cells become dead due to deposition of impermeable secondary wall. Cell walls show uniform thickening of secondary wall due to deposition of lignin.
So, the correct answer is 'Collenchyma'.
