Correct Option: A
The tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant is xylem. Xylem vessels and tracheids form a network that facilitates the upward movement of water and nutrients through the plant.
The epidermis is the outermost layer of cells providing protection, the parenchyma is a type of ground tissue with various functions, and the phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic nutrients within the plant.
