Solution

The correct option is C Downwards
Food from the leaves is conducted downwards through the phloem in the stem. The food is then stored in organs like root, stem fruits etc. When the food synthesized is in less amount or not synthesized at all due to environmental or physiological conditions then it is supplied upwards from the storage organs to the leaves. Conduction of water through the xylem occurs always in the upward direction.
So, the correct answer is 'Downwards'
