The path of water movement from soil to xylem is:

• A
  Soil $\rightarrow$ root hair $\rightarrow$ cortex $\rightarrow$ pericycle $\rightarrow$ endodermis $\rightarrow$ metaxylem $\rightarrow$ protoxylem
• B
  Soil $\rightarrow$ root hair $\rightarrow$ cortex $\rightarrow$ endodermis $\rightarrow$ pericycle $\rightarrow$ protoxylem $\rightarrow$ metaxylem
• C
  Soil $\rightarrow$ root hair $\rightarrow$ epidermis $\rightarrow$ endodermis $\rightarrow$ phloem $\rightarrow$ xylem
• D
  Soil $\rightarrow$ root hair $\rightarrow$ epidermis $\rightarrow$ cortex $\rightarrow$ phloem $\rightarrow$ xylem
