Solution

The correct option is C Transpiration
The excess water absorbed by the roots of the plant is lost in the form of water vapour that is released through the stomata of the leaves. The water vapour condenses to form water droplets on the inside of the plastic bag. This property of plants is called transpiration. Whereas reproduction helps the plant to produce new offspring. Photosynthesis is the food-making process and respiration is the process of taking in air and using the oxygen present in it to break down food.
