A
it strengthens and supports the plant
B
helps it to grow
C
transports food and water to all parts of the plant.
D
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The vascular tissues of plants, which are composed of specialized conducting tissues, xylem and phloem, form continuous systems through the plant body and provide transport pathways for water, nutrients, and signaling molecules and support a plant body against mechanical stresses.

Detailed explanation-2: -The plant vascular system carries out two essential functions, namely the delivery of resources (water, essential mineral nutrients, sugars and amino acids) to the various plant organs, and provision of mechanical support.

Detailed explanation-3: -vascular system, in vascular plants, assemblage of conducting tissues and associated supportive fibres that transport nutrients and fluids throughout the plant body.

Detailed explanation-4: -These tissues are responsible for the transport of water and nutrients in the plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Vascular tissue transports water, minerals, and sugars to different parts of the plant. Vascular tissue is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and also plays a role in structural support in the stem.
