Answer: The correct answer is water is carried to the leaves by xylem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Xylem and Phloem together form a vascular tissue of plants.

Xylem transfers water and minerals from roots to every part of the plant with the help of stem. It is uni-directional.

Phloem transfers food from leaves to every part of the plant whenever in need. Phloem uses energy in the form of ATP in both the directions. It is multi-directional.

Hence, the correct answer is water is carried to the leaves by xylem.
