Solution

The correct option is B Translocation
Translocation is the transport of soluble products of photosynthesis within a plant in bulk. It involves transport of substances from source (i.e., region of storage) to sink (i.e., region of utilisation). It takes place inside the sieve tubes with the help of companion cells in both upward and downward directions. The process utilises energy in the form of ATP.
