A
Epidermal tissue
B
Simple tissue
C
Protective tissue
D
Complex tissue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem and phloem are an example of complex permanent tissues. These tissues are named so because they are made up of more than one type of cells and all these different types of cells coordinate to perform the same function. They ultimately achieve the same goal despite their different structures and function.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: A complex tissue is the one which has more than one type of cells having a common origin which coordinates to perform a common function. Xylem and phloem are made of different types of cells hence they are called complex tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular tissue is comprised of the xylem and the phloem, the main transport systems of plants. They typically occur together in vascular bundles in all plant organs, traversing roots, stems, and leaves. Xylem is responsible for the transport of water and dissolved ions from the roots upwards through the plant.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of complex tissues include xylem and phloem that helps in the transport of water and food respectively. Xylem tissue is made up of four different components namely, tracheid, vessel elements, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibers.
