The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Vascular Bundles**: - Vascular bundles are structures in plants that consist of xylem and phloem. They are responsible for the transportation of water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant. 2. **Identifying the Components**: - Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves. - Phloem transports the products of photosynthesis (mainly sugars) from the leaves to other parts of the plant. 3. **Location of Xylem and Phloem in Leaves**: - In a transverse section (TS) of a leaf, the xylem is located towards the adaxial side (the upper side) of the leaf, while the phloem is located towards the abaxial side (the lower side). 4. **Understanding Adaxial and Abaxial**: - The adaxial side refers to the upper surface of the leaf, which is typically exposed to sunlight. - The abaxial side refers to the lower surface of the leaf, which is usually shaded and has stomata for gas exchange. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the statement that "in the vascular bundle of the leaf, xylem is located towards the adaxial side of the leaf" is true.
