d) is the correct answer

Answer 2

A) phloem is responsible for translocation of food

Explanation:

The girdling experiment is performed to demonstrate that the phloem tissue is responsible for the transport of food in the plant.

• This is demonstrated by the removal of the bark of the tree which is usually composed of the phloem tissue as it grows in the outer side of the cambium.
• Since the portion below the girdling doe does not get the sucrose, therefore, shows that the phloem is responsible for the translocation of the food or sugar in plants.
• Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
