Solution

The correct option is A To carry out transport of organic solutes through phloem
P-proteins have been reported in sieve tube members. They can be the dispersive or non-dispersive type. A variety of functions from wound healing to transportation have been suggested for P-proteins. Nothing is well established but transport of organic solutes appears to be their most important function at least in the immature stage.
So, the correct answer is option B.
