Given below are two statements :
Statement I : The process of translocation through phloem is unidirectional but through xylem, it is  bidirectional.
Statement II : The most readily mobilized elements are phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen and potassium.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Statement I is incorrect and statement II is correct.
SI: Phloem transport in plants is bidirectional. It involves the movement of sugars, organic compounds and
other substances from sources (areas of production or storage) to sinks (areas of utilisation or storage) and vice versa.
SII: The elements phosphorus, sulphur, nitrogen and potassium are among the most readily mobilised
elements in plants. They are essential macronutrients required for various physiological processes, such as
protein synthesis, energy transfer and cell division. These elements are actively transported through the plant’s
vascular system, including both xylem and phloem, to ensure their distribution to different parts of the plant, as needed.
