Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Xylem is the conducting tissue of plants that carries water to all parts of the plants from the root area. Salts from roots are also carried in dissolved form through xylem ducts and reach the top parts of the plant with the help of the transpiration pull created by the plant. Transpiration pull is created because of the loss of water by the process of transpiration.
