Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
The release of a water droplet from the lenticels is guttation which is not dependent on temperature. And root pressure does not affect the loss of water from lenticels.
So, the correct answer is 'Both assertions and reasons are incorrect.'
