Solution

The correct option is B
translocation

Translocation is the movement of materials from leaves to other tissues throughout the plant. Plants produce glucose (sugars) in their leaves by photosynthesis, and carries it to the other nonphotosynthetic parts that require carbohydrates and other organic and nonorganic materials for their survival and growth.

This generally happens through the phloem tissues.

Q. The food which is prepered by the leaves of the plants during photosynthesis needs to be transported to other parts like stem, roots, fruits and flowers. The plant tissue responsible for this transport of food material is called phloem tissue. This process of transportation of food from the site of photosynthesis to other plant parts is called translocation. Translocation is bidirectional.
