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.
  • So, the correct answer is option A.
