The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Transfusion Tissue**: - Transfusion tissue, also known as Hydrosterome, is a specialized tissue in plants that is responsible for the conduction of water and food. 2. **Identifying the Location**: - This tissue is primarily found in the leaves or leaflets of certain plants. 3. **Types of Plants**: - Transfusion tissue is specifically found in gymnosperms, particularly in the leaves of plants such as Pinus (pine trees) and Cycas (a type of cycad). 4. **Characteristics of Transfusion Tissue**: - The vascular bundles in the leaves of gymnosperms contain living cells, such as parenchyma, which are not lignified and have thin walls. - However, the tracheids present in this tissue are lignified and have bordered pits. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the information, we can conclude that transfusion tissue is found in the leaflets of Cycas (option 2). ### Final Answer: Transfusion tissue is found in the leaflets of Cycas. ---
