BParenchyma, which stores food and water
CCollenchyma, which gives flexibility
DXylem, which carries water and minerals
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Xylem, which carries water and minerals
Xylem carries water and minerals from roots upward (one-way, dead cells when mature).
Phloem carries food (sugars from leaves) to other parts (two-way, living cells).
Together they form the vascular tissues of plants.
