Answer
Safranin.
Explanation:
Safranin is a staining agent used in histology and cytology to color the cells and visualize them under the microscope. Safranin reacts with lignin and stains it red. Therefore, only the lignified tissues such as xylem and sclerenchyma are turned red and all other tissues like parenchyma, collenchyma, and phloem remain colorless.
