${\large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Answer :-}}}}}$

• $\red\bigstar$(b) Transportation

${\large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Explanation:-}}}}}$

• $\green\bigstar$Transportation of water and minerals :- In plants , water and minerals are transported by the xylem tissue present in the vascular bundles of plants.
• $\green\bigstar$Xylem consist of four parts namely:-

1. $\bold\purple\leadsto$Tracheids
2. $\bold\purple\leadsto$Vessels
3. $\bold\purple\leadsto$Xylem Parenchyma
4. $\bold\purple\leadsto$Xylem Fibres

• $\green\bigstar$Only the Xylem Parenchyma is living component of Xylem. Other all the components are dead. In gymnosperms Vessels are not present.
