A
Vascular cambium
B
Cork cambium
C
Xylem
D
Phloem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and includes vessel elements and tracheids, both of which are tubular, elongated cells that conduct water.

Detailed explanation-2: -The vascular system is comprised of two main types of tissue: the xylem and the phloem. The xylem distributes water and dissolved minerals upward through the plant, from the roots to the leaves. The phloem carries food downward from the leaves to the roots.

Detailed explanation-3: -Xylem is a specialized vascular tissue that serves as a conduit of water and minerals and provides mechanical support for upright growth. Wood, also known as secondary xylem, constitutes the major part of mature woody stems and roots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants have two types of vascular tissues-xylem and phloem. Xylem conducts water and minerals from the roots to all parts of the plant. Phloem transports the products of photosynthesis from the leaves to all other parts of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Xylem consists of tracheids, vessels, parenchyma, and fibers.
