Assuming it's A, right?

Is it B @Abhisar  ?

anonymous · Answer

I was asking because both A and B seem logical.

rushwr · Answer

A is wrong that is for sure because that's the function of roots !

anonymous · Answer

And C, to be honest.

rushwr · Answer

Since stem helps in support and material transportation I think it is B !

anonymous · Answer

I see. @Rushwr I wouldn't know, I hate botany.

abhisar · Answer

Stems provide support basically. Mineral absorption is for root. Apart from that vascular plants have xylem and phloem, so transport could have been a correct option.

anonymous · Answer

B, it is.
