Solution
The correct option is A sucrose In times of rapid photosynthesis, the main product is glucose, but it is usually converted to the larger sugar sucrose. These sugars that are synthesized in the leaves must be transported to other parts of the plant. Phloem is composed of living cells that transport water solution of sugars that we commonly call sap.
