I. Phloem sap can be transported in any required direction.
II. Phloem transports mainly water and sucrose but other sugars, hormones, and amino acids are also transported.
III. Cytoplasmic strands pass through the holes in the sieve plate forming continuous filaments.
IV. Ascent of sap is a pulling movement and the translocation of organic solutes is a pushing movement.

1. All are correct
2. All are incorrect
3. I, II, III are correct
4. III and IV are correct
