Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Explanation:

The primary purpose of phloem parenchyma cells, which are located between the sieve tubes of the phloem, is to store food and other substances like resins, latex and mucilage. They also helps in food transport and photosynthesis.  

Pteridophytes and gymnosperms both contain phloem parenchyma. They are also present in  dicot leaf, dicot stems, and monocot roots but these are absent in monocot stems.
