The correct statement is: The xylem transports water and minerals while the phloem transports glucose and nutrients.

In plants, xylem is responsible for transporting water and dissolved minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant, whereas phloem transports the products of photosynthesis, primarily glucose, and nutrients throughout the plant.
