Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The principle path ways by Xylem vessel system water is translocation in angiosperms.
The principal pathway of water translocation in angiosperms is the xylem vessel system.
The sap is absorbed mainly by roots and is moved upward to all the parts of plants via the stem. It occurs mainly through xylem.
Xylem transports water and mineral salts from the roots up to other parts of the plant, while phloem transports sucrose and amino acids between the leaves and other parts of the plant.
