The question is confusing or poorly worded. I think the right question would be:

The phloem transports the photosynthesized product (sugar) back to the other parts of the plant from the leaves.
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The xylem and the phloem are the vessels that is used for transport in a plant, the water and the minerals that are in the soil should reach the leaves to help them in photosynthesis process, this is done by the xylem, whereas the finished product of photosynthesis is transferred to the other parts of the plant by the phloem.
