  • C Each sclerenchyma cell has a primary cell wall rich in lignin ✔ ✖
  • D Sclerenchyma provides support to older plant organs and hardens different parts of plants ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation

Sclerenchyma cells have a uniformly thick secondary cell wall rich in lignin, not a primary cell wall. Sclerenchyma is a dead supportive tissue consisting of long fibers or short, crystal-like cells. It provides support to older plant organs and hardens different parts of plants, such as making fruit inedible before ripeness so that no one takes the fruit before seeds are ready to be distributed.
