Solution

The correct option is D Parenchyma
The cells in the middle part of the plant which are responsible for the conduction of the water and food are the xylem and the phloem tissues. These cells are derived from the parenchyma cells which are simple tissues. These cells undergo transformation and get converted to special modified cells which are involved in the process of conduction of materials in the parts of the plants.
