Solution
The correct option is A Xylem
Upward movement of water and minerals from roots is achieved by xylem vessels that run like pipes throughout the root, stem, branches, and leaves. They form a continuous passage for water and nutrients to reach the leaf.
Phloem is involved in the transportation of food.
Mesophyll cells are involved in photosynthesis.
Stomata are openings on the leaf surface through which the exchange of gases takes place.
