Correct Option: B
Xylem is the plant tissue responsible for transporting water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant. It consists of vessels and tracheids that form a network for the upward movement of water, providing structural support as well.
Mesophyll is involved in photosynthesis, epidermis is the outermost layer of cells providing protection, and phloem is responsible for transporting sugars and other organic nutrients within the plant.
