Solution

The correct option is C Storage of metabolic products
Option 'C' is correct.

Storage of metabolic products is not a function of xylem. It is a function of phloem because it is composed of still living cells that transports sap. The sap is a water based solution, but rich is sugars made by photosynthesis.
These sugars are transported to non-photosynthetic part of a plant, such as roots and storage organs, such as tubers and bulbs.
