Solution

The correct option is C Amides are transported by phloem
Amides are amino acid derivatives in which the hydroxyl (OH) part of the acid is replaced by another NH $_{2}$ radicle. Asparagine and glutamine are amides formed from aspartic acid and glutamic acid respectively. Amides contain more nitrogen than amino acids and hence, they are transported to other parts of the plant via xylem vessels.
