Solution

The correct option is C Xylem with vessels
Most of gymnosperms are tall, evergreen trees, none of them are herbs.
The aerial, erect and woody stem of gymnosperms bears two types of branches, long shoots with unlimited growth and dwarf shoot with limited growth.
Gymnosperms are characterized by parallel venation with almost no branching veins wherein secondary veins run parallel to each other.
They are vascular plant and have xylem and phloem for transport of water and food respectively. The xylem tissue of gymnosperms consists of tracheids only, vessels are absent
So, the correct answer is 'Xylem with vessels'
