Solution

The correct option is D

Phloem transports food to all parts of the plant


Photosynthesis occurs in the mesophyll cells of leaves. From the leaves, phloem tissue transports it to all other parts of the plant. Phloem tissue is made up of tubular interconnected cells. Parenchyma helps in photosynthesis and storage of food. Collenchyma provides flexibility and support to plant parts. Xylem transports water from the root to all parts of the plant body.
