Solution
The correct option is A Xylem
Xylem is a plant vascular tissue that is responsible for
conducting water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant
and also provides physical support.
Xylem cells have long tracheary elements that transport
water. Tracheids and vessel elements are distinguished by their shape; vessel
elements are shorter, and are connected together into long tubes that are
called vessels. It also contains two other cell types: parenchyma and fibres. Hence option A is correct.
