Solution
The correct option is B Conducting tissue
The biggest challenge for terrestrial plants is water. During evolution, plants are first developed near water reservoir for easy access to the water. But when terrestrial plants are developed then pumping the water across the plant body became a necessity. For this purpose, vascular tissues are developed. Those are xylem and phloem. Xylem is involved in water conduction in plants.
