Best answer

Answer: 1. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Key idea: check each statement against tissue properties.

  • Statement I: Parenchyma is living, but collenchyma is also a living tissue (cells have living protoplasts with thickened corners). Sclerenchyma is the dead tissue. So Statement I is false.
  • Statement II: Gymnosperms have tracheids only and no vessels; vessels are characteristic of angiosperms. True.

So Statement I is false and Statement II is true.
