Answer 1

The correct option is D xylem tissue

Correct option: $\left(d\right)$ xylem tissue.

• A shoot from a balsam plant is kept in eosin solution $\text{(pink in colour})$ for $3-4$ hours. The pink colour is most likely to be observed in xylem tissues.
• The xylem tissues are distinctly visible as they have taken the stain indicating that the solution moved through the xylem.
