Survival of plants in terrestrial environment has been made possible by the presence of
(a) intercalary meristem
(b) conducting tissue
(c) apical meristem
(d) parenchymatous tissue
Answer- (b)

The conducting tissues present in plants are xylem and phloem. These are responsible for the survival of plants in the terrestrial environment. Xylem helps in the conduction of water from roots to all the parts of the plants and phloem transports food and other nutrients from leaves to other parts of the plant.
The correct option is – (b) conducting tissue
