Vasa recta is the structural analog (functional, not anatomical) in PLANTS of
ATrichomes that reduce transpiration
BVascular bundles for general transport
CSpecific transfusion tissue in gymnosperm leaves
DCasparian strip blocking apoplast
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Vascular bundles for general transport
Vasa recta is an animal kidney structure (capillary loops). The closest functional analogue in plants is the vascular system (xylem + phloem) which serves long-distance transport. The MCQ tests that vasa recta is animal, not plant.
