Solution

The correct option is B Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A
Transpiration is the loss of water from plants from the stomatal openings and the cuticle. Plants transpire so that more nutrients and water is pulled up from the soil by roots.
Guttation is when a plant pushes water out through tips of the leaves due to root pressure.
Therefore both statements are true but the reason is not the correct explanation.
