Solution

The correct option is C Xylem is blocked
In vascular plants, water and minerals are transported through xylem tissue, whereas sugars are translocated through phloem tissue. If xylem is blocked the aerial parts of the plant will not get sufficient water and the plant will show wilting.
So, the correct answer is option A.
