Solution

The correct option is D Sieve tube
  • Plants use a special tissue called phloem to transport sap which is a sticky solution that has amino acids , sugar etc.
  • Sap moves through phloem via translocation , the transport of dissolved material in a plant.
Sugars produced within sugar sources are loaded in sieve tube elements.
So the correct answer is ' sieve tube ' .
