Answer 1

The correct statement is:

The xylem transports water and minerals while the phloem transports glucose and nutrients.

The xylem is responsible for the upward transport of water and dissolved minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant, while the phloem transports the organic compounds, primarily sugars produced during photosynthesis, to various parts of the plant where they are needed.
