The correct answer is: B. Transport of water and mineral nutrients in plants.<\/p>\n
Xylem is a type of plant tissue that is responsible for the transport of water and mineral nutrients from the roots to the leaves. It is made up of long, dead cells that are arranged in tubes. The cells are filled with a substance called xylem sap, which is a mixture of water and minerals. Xylem sap is transported up the plant by a process called transpiration. Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from the leaves of plants. As the water evaporates, it creates a vacuum that pulls the xylem sap up the plant.<\/p>\n
