Solution

The correct option is C Xylem
Xylem tissues are the vascular tissues that carry water and minerals to the different parts of the plants, whereas, phloem transports food from the leaves to the other parts of the plant. Sclerenchyma is further known as the strengthening tissues, as it is composed of thick lignified walls. Cambium is delicate meristematic tissues present between xylem and phloem.
So, the correct answer is 'Xylem'.
