Solution

The correct option is C Translocation
Stems of the plant help in carrying the food materials. This process of food transportation through can be understood by cutting the thin section of stem and placing them in red coloured ink solution. Subsequently, cut the stem into two halves vertically from top to bottom and observe for the coloured portion. The coloured ring structure could be seen as a tube like structure that help in transportation. The tube like structure in stem carries water and food material throughout the plant.
