The correct answer is D) food.
Plant vascular tissues consist of xylem and phloem. Xylem is primarily responsible for the transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem is primarily responsible for the transport of organic nutrients, mainly sugars (food) produced during photosynthesis in the leaves, to other parts of the plant where they are needed for growth or storage.
