None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The xylem transports water and minerals from the roots up the plant stem and into the leaves. In a mature flowering plant or tree, most of the cells that make up the xylem are specialised cells called vessels. Vessels: Lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube.

Detailed explanation-2: -Xylem transports water and minerals. Phloem transports sugars and amino acids dissolved in water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water Transport from Roots to Shoots The phloem and xylem are the main tissues responsible for this movement. Water potential, evapotranspiration, and stomatal regulation influence how water and nutrients are transported in plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
