Based on the options provided, the answer will depend on which specific plant part the red arrow is pointing to. Here are the functions of the main plant parts:

A. Take water and minerals from the soil - This refers to the roots. B. Make food - This refers to the leaves, where photosynthesis occurs. C. Drain extra water from the leaves - This is not commonly attributed to a specific plant part; plants do transpire, but there is no specialized part that primarily drains water. D. Transport water and minerals to the leaves - This refers to the stem (or xylem specifically).

If the red arrow is pointing to the roots, the correct answer would be A. If it points to the leaves, the answer is B. If it points to the stem, the answer is D.

Please clarify which plant part the arrow is pointing to for a definitive answer.
