Solution

The correct options are
A Xylem transports water and minerals.
B Flow in xylem is unidirectional.
D Flow in phloem is bidirectional.
The transport system of plants consist of xylem and phloem.
$∙$ In xylem, the flow is unidirectional, i.e., it transports water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant only in one direction (upwards).
$∙$ Phloem transports food from the leaves to all parts of the plant. So the flow is bidirectional(upwards and downwards).
