The vascular tissue in plants is primarily made up of **phloem** and **xylem** (which is not listed in your options).
- **Phloem** is responsible for the transport of nutrients (particularly sugars) throughout the plant.
- **Xylem** is responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.
The other tissue types you've mentioned—sclerenchyma, collenchyma, and parenchyma—are types of ground tissue, not vascular tissue.
So, from your list, **phloem** is the only one that makes up the vascular tissue.
