Assertion: In angiosperms the conduction of water is more efficient because their xylem has vessels.
Reason: Conduction of water by vessel elements is an active process with energy supplied by xylem parenchyma rich in mitochondria

If assertion is true but reason is false
If both assertion and reason are false.
Assertion : Long distance flow of photoassimilates in plants occurs through sieve tubes.
Reason : Mature sieve tubes have parietal cytoplasm and perforated sieve plates.

A vascular bundle is a part of the transport system in vascular plants. The transport itself happens in vascular tissue, which exists in two forms: xylem and phloem. Both these tissues are present in a vascular bundle, which in addition will include supporting and protective tissues.
In a stem or root this means that the xylem is closer to the centre of the stem or root while the phloem is closer to the exterior. In a leaf, the adaxial surface of the leaf will usually be the upper side, with the abaxial surface the lower side.
Ectophloic siphonostele is found in
Osmunda and Equisetum
Marsilea and Botrychium
Adiantum and Cucurbitaceae
Dicksonia and Maiden hair fern
