Solution

The correct option is B Tracheids
Pholem is a complex permanent tissue. Sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres are the different components of phloem. It transports food throughout the plant. Tracheids on the other hand, are the component of xylem tissue. It takes part in the conduction of water and minerals and provides mechanical support.
