BPhloem with sieve tubes only

Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Xylem with tracheids and vessels
1. The chapter names xylem and phloem as the two conducting tissues.
2. Xylem moves water and minerals from soil up to leaves.
3. Phloem moves food made in leaves to other parts.
4. So the upward transport tissue is xylem.
