Solution

The correct option is A Sieve tubes
In plant anatomy, sieve tube elements, also called sieve tube members, are highly specialized type of elongated cell in the phloem tissue of flowering plants. Unlike the water-conducting xylem vessel elements that are dead when mature, sieve elements are living cells. They are unique in lacking a nucleus at maturity.
So, the correct answer is 'Sieve tubes.'
