Solution

The structure of phloem tissue, consisting of tube-shaped cells with small holes at each end, enables it to act like sieves, letting only some materials pass through. This is crucial for the transportation of sugars and other nutrients throughout the plant. So, the correct answer is C. Act like sieves, letting only some materials pass through.
