The correct answer is: Sucrose
Translocation is the movement of organic nutrients (ie, food) from the region of source or supply to the region of sink or utilisation. Translocation of food occurs through phloem. This organic food is translocated in the form of sucrose, a disaccharide, which is relatively inactive and highly soluble sugar.
