    C) If the assertion is true but the reason is false

    D) If both the assertion and reason are false

    E) If the assertion is false but reason is true

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Phloem transports organic food inside the body of the plant. Xylem performs the function of transport of water or sap inside the plant. Thus they form the conducting elements in the plant. Haberlandt used the term leptom for phloem and hadrome for xylem.
