A) the thinness of tracheids in angiosperms enhances their transport capability.

C) the specialization of cells into vessel elements and fibers allows transport and support to become separate functions.
D) xylem in angiosperms is composed of living cells.
E) the thin diameter of angiosperm vessels increases the rate of water flow.
