Solution
The correct option is C Angiosperm Companion cells are the integral component of the phloem in the angiosperms. It is closely associated with the development and function of a sieve-tube element.
A vessel element or vessel member is one of the cell types found in xylem, the water conducting tissue of plants. Vessel elements are typically found in flowering plants (angiosperms) but absent from most gymnosperms such as conifers. So, vessels and companion cells are the characteristic features of angiosperms and absent in gymnosperms, pteridophytes, and bryophytes.
