Solution

The correct option is C Companion cells
Xylem conducts water and nutrients from roots to other parts of the plant. This tissue consists of tracheids, vessels, xylem fibres and xylem parenchyma. Companion cell, on the other hand is a component of phloem tissue. Phloem conducts food from leaves to all parts of the plant.
