Solution
The correct option is B Phloem
Phloem helps in translocation of food in plants.In vascular plants, phloem is the living tissue that carries organic nutrients (known as photosynthate), in particular, sucrose, a sugar, to all parts of the plant where needed. In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark, hence the name.
The phloem is concerned mainly with the transport of soluble organic material made during photosynthesis. This process of transportation is called translocation.
So, the correct answer is option B.
