• A. Endodermis- cortex - epidermis - vessel elements - intercellular spaces in mesophyll – stomata.
• B. Epidermis - cortex - endodermis - sieve cells - intercellular spaces in the mesophyll – stomata.
• C. Root hairs - cortex - endodermis - vessel elements - intercellular spaces in mesophyll –stomata.
• D. Epidermis - endodermis - phloem - cortex of leaf - intercellular spaces of mesophyll – stomata.

Answer 1

The correct option is C Root hairs - cortex - endodermis - vessel elements - intercellular spaces in mesophyll –stomata.

The pathway of water:-root hairs - cortex - endodermis - vessel elements – intercellular spaces in mesophyll - stomata.
