A
shoot system
B
nonvascular plant
C
phototropism
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The shoot system consists stems, leaves, and the reproductive parts of the plant (flowers and fruits). The shoot system generally grows above ground, where it absorbs the light needed for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The stem is the part that stays above the ground. A stem usually bears leaves, fruits plus flowers.

Detailed explanation-3: -STEMS. The main structure of the plant that is above the ground is its stem.

Detailed explanation-4: -The stem is divided into two parts. These are the nodes and internodes. Nodes are where buds grow into leaves, stems, or flowers. Internodes are the parts of the stem in between the nodes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stems also connect the other organs of the plant. Both the leaves and roots are connected to the stem! The stem transports water and nutrients up from the roots all the way to the leaves, and the stem transports sugars from the leaves to the rest of the plant. Stems support leaves, flowers, and fruits.
