Solution

The correct option is C Phloem
In vascular plants, water and minerals move through xylem, whereas sugars move through phloem. Ringing experiments prove that sugars move through phloem. If the phloem tissue is removed in a ring or girdle, the sugars cannot be transported to roots from aerial parts and plant dies.
