Correct answer: B

Spring wood is also called early wood. It is lighter in colour and has a lower density. The vessels are produced with the wider lumens to transport more water to meet the requirement by increased transpiring surface in spring season.

The spring and autumn wood appear as alternate concentric rings of light and dark colour forming annual rings.
