Correct answer: C. Climbing stems

- B. Woody climbers

Explanation
Collenchyma occurs in climbing stems. Collenchyma occurs in the stem and petioles of dicot herbs. Due to the deposition of pectin, it has high water-retaining capacity. Since pectin appears at the angles, it becomes a spongy tissue. The collenchyma is a mechanical tissue that gives tensile strength to the plant.
