fibres are always sclerenchyma. The hollow image was to mislead. It's common sense... how small is a cell and how big was that hollow diameter!
Dude, they asked a tissue which consists of this. It can either be sclerenchyma or xylem. Both are hollow, your context of "sclerenchyma always being fibres", but it doesn't necessarily mean they're exclusive to sclerenchyma only. The hollow image wasn't a misled

Dunno. But the hollowness doesn't mean anything... So it was to mislead. And um... sclerenchyma isn't hollow right? just lignified...? edit: I forgot.. It is hollow! sorryyyy
Xylem and Sclerenchyma are very similar in structure, It says in the AS textbook: 'some sclerenchyma forms fibres, very long cells often found in bundles or cylinders around the outside of a stem or root'
which is why I chose sclerenchyma, BUT I'm pretty sure both Xylem and Sclerenchyma are correct as they are so similar.

\they are both correct anyway, can we form a group for people taking bio IAL exam papers
