How many of the following statements about plant tissues are correct?
I: Sclerenchyma cells are typically dead and have thickened lignified walls that help in providing structural support.
II: Xylem tissues are primarily involved in the storage of proteins and starch.
III: Phloem tissues are responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves.
IV: Parenchyma cells are versatile cells that can store food, and are also involved in photosynthesis and repair.

Statement I: Phloem fibers (bast fibers) are made up of sclerenchymatous cells and are absent in the primary phloem but are found in the secondary phloem.
Statement II: The phloem parenchyma stores food material and other substances like resins, latex, and mucilage and is absent in most of the monocotyledons.
