Solution

The correct option is D
Sieve tube

Sieve tubes are dead cells with thin cellulosic walls. They are enucleated at maturity. These are conducting elements of phloem. Companion cells are thin-walled, living cells which remain associated with sieve tubes. They help in transport of food along the sieve tubes.
