Hey there!

The correct answer to your question is option C.

A vascular plants Xylem differ from its Phloem because the materials in Xylem flow in only one direction. Unlike Phloem, it flows in multiple directions. Phloem directs sugar down from the leaves of the plant while Xylem directs the water from the root.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
