Answer 1

The correct option is A If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

Phloem transports organic food inside the body of the plant. Xylem performs the function of transport of water or sap inside the plant. Thus they form the conducting elements in the plant. Haberlandt used the term leptons for phloem and syndrome for xylem.
