Solution

The correct option is A Through phloem and xylem
The plant transport systems will mobilise energy stores, (food) from leaves, and raw materials from roots. These two pathways are structured as independently organised conducting tubes. Xylem transports water with dissolved minerals absorbed by the root hairs from the soil, to other parts of the plant. Phloem transports products of photosynthesis (food) from the leaves to all other parts of the plant.
