• A. Food, leaf
• B. Excreta, bark
• C. Food, root
• D. Water, leaf

Answer 1

The correct option is A Food, leaf

Phloem transports food from leaf to other parts of the plant. In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients (known as photosynthate), particularly sucrose; a sugar, to all parts of the plant. The phloem is concerned mainly with the transport of soluble organic material made during photosynthesis. Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
