Explanation:

Horsetails are vascular plants. Vascular plants have xylem (for water transport) and phloem (for nutrient transport), so "They have xylem and phloem" is correct. They also have true roots. Horsetails are often found in moist environments (near water). They have true stems. Some horsetail species can grow taller than 5 centimeters (e.g., Equisetum telmateia can grow up to 2 - 3 meters in some cases).
