Solution

The correct option is B Both A and B
The transportation of food through Phloem takes place both in acropetal and basipetal direction, that is, from source to the sink. In basipetal transportation the movement of food is from the leaves to the root, while in acropetal transportation the movement of food is from storage organs like root to the leaves.
So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'
