Solution

Correct option: C

Explanation:

  • Water carrying tubes transport water and minerals within a plant, from the roots, up to the stem and to all parts of the plant. 
  • Vascular tissues are divided into three parts:
  • Xylem: transports water
  • Cambium: forms secondary vascular tissue
  • Phloem: transports food

Hence, ‘Xylem’ is the correct answer.
