The correct option is B
Conduction

Axial movement of water and nutrients in plants by xylem and phloem is called conduction. Xylem and phloem tissues are involved in the conduction processes within plants. Sugars are conducted throughout the plant in the phloem, water and other nutrients through the xylem. Conduction occurs from a source to a sink for each separate nutrient.
