Solution

The correct option is B Xylem; Phloem
Xylem transports water and soluble mineral nutrients from roots to various parts of the plant. It is responsible for replacing water lost through transpiration and photosynthesis. Phloem translocates sugars made by photosynthetic areas of plants to storage organs like roots, tubers or bulbs.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Xylem; Phloem'.
