Solution

The correct option is B Primary phloem
Primary phloem is a living tissue, it is formed in apical meristems of the roots and shoots and it may consist of protophloem and metaphloem, so fibres are absent in it .But phloem gets converted to fibres during the growth.
So, the correct option is 'Primary phloem'
