C Correct answer
Explanation

Collenchyma occurs in the climbing stems. They provide structural support, protecting the plant by serving as an inner framework. Plants are exposed to numerous structural challenges and without these cells, most plants would be too fragile to withstand the damage caused by heavy rains, high winds and other stresses.
