Solution
The correct option is B Angiosperms
Xylem vessels are long hollow chains of tough long-dead xylem cells. Xylem tissue is the water transporter cells of plants.
It carries water around a plant. The presence of vessels is a characteristic feature of flowering plants. Companion cells are present only in the phloem complex of angiosperms.
