In woody dicotyledons,the arrangement of vessels is either diffuse porous or ring porous. Based on these data,which one of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    Ring porous vessels are specialised and are used for conducting more water for a shorter period only,when tyloses occur early in the vessels.
  • B
    Although diffuse porous vessels are not so specialized as ring porous vessels,they conduct more water at all periods and through new xylem vessels added gradually during development.
  • C
    Diffuse porous vessels carry more water and also faster because of a greater number of small vessels having greater capillary force.
  • D
    Ring porous vessels conduct more water as they are formed early during development,when the need for water is great.
