A & For food production and storage & For strength and support & For protection and support \\
\hline
B & For secretion of substances like nectar & For conduction of materials throughout the plant & For healing of plant parts \\
\hline
C & For strength and support & For protection and support & For food production and storage \\
\hline
D & For healing of plant parts & For protection and support & For strength and support \\

Let us analyze the functions provided in the table for both Parenchyma and Collenchyma and match them accordingly.

### Parenchyma:
1. Parenchyma's primary function is related to food production and storage, secretions of substances like nectar, and healing of plant parts.

From the table:
- Row A mentions "For food production and storage".
- Row B mentions "For secretion of substances like nectar".
- Row D mentions "For healing of plant parts".

Considering the primary function of Parenchyma is "food production and storage", we should match it with row A.

### Collenchyma:
2. Collenchyma's primary function is related to strength and support and protection and support.

From the table:
- Row A mentions "For strength and support".
- Row C mentions both "For strength and support" and "For protection and support".
- Row D mentions "For strength and support".

Considering the primary function of Collenchyma is "strength and support", it can align with rows A, C, and D. But for protection and support, it should align with row D considering its specific combination of both functions.

Therefore:
- Parenchyma is best matched with A (For food production and storage).
- Collenchyma is best matched with D (For protection and support).

So, the correct matches are:
- Parenchyma: A
- Collenchyma: D
