Solution
The correct option is B Translocation
The transport of water, minerals, and organic solutes from one place to another in higher plants is referred to as translocation of organic solutes. The carbohydrates are translocated from leaves to roots and storage organs along the phloem in the form of sucrose. They are transported through living sieve elements of phloem. The process of translocation requires the expenditure of metabolic energy. Hence option B is the correct answer.
