Solution

The correct option is D Sieve tubes
Callose carbohydrates can be traced in sieve tubes. Callose is a plant polysaccharide. It is composed of glucose residues linked together through 1,3-linkages and is termed as a glucan. It is thought to be manufactured at the cell wall by callose synthases and is degraded by 1,3-glucanases. It is laid down at plasmodesmata, at the cell plate during cytokinesis and during pollen development. It is produced in response to wounding, infection by pathogens.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
