B
a flowering plant whose seeds are surrounded by fruit
C
a plant that does not produce seeds or flowers
D
a plant that only produces seeds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -xylem, plant vascular tissue that conveys water and dissolved minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant and also provides physical support. Xylem tissue consists of a variety of specialized, water-conducting cells known as tracheary elements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem is the specialised tissue of vascular plants that transports water and nutrients from the plant–soil interface to stems and leaves, and provides mechanical support and storage. The water-conducting function of xylem is one of the major distinguishing features of vascular plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem is one of the two types of vascular tissues in plants, phloem being the other. The function of xylem is to transport water and nutrients from the roots to all parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Xylem is a type of vascular tissue present in plants, which primarily transports water and nutrients from roots to stem and leaves. They also provide mechanical strength to the plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Xylem Tissues Xylem is one of the important tissues of the vascular system of plants. The main activity of this tissue is to transport minerals and water from roots and carry them to other parts of the plants. It has two separate chambers, tracheids and vessels for transporting minerals and water.
