In plants, xylem is responsible for:

• A. Oxygen conduction
• B. Amino acid conduction
• C. Water conduction
• D. Food conduction

Hint:

Step 1: Understanding the function of xylem. Xylem is a vascular tissue in plants responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to other parts of the plant.
Step 2: Explanation of incorrect options.
- Oxygen conduction is not performed by xylem.
- Amino acid conduction is mainly handled by phloem.
- Food conduction is the function of phloem, not xylem.
