Solution

The correct option is D Transpiration
  • Water loss from the leaves in the form of water vapour through the openings called stomata is called transpiration.
  • Imbibition is a phenomenon that refers to the absorption of one substance by another, usually uptake of water by a plant or a seed.
  • Guttation is excretion of xylem sap on the tips of some plants through pores called hydathodes.
  • Translocation is the movement of the material from the source to sink inside the plant. Example, movement of starch from leaves to roots or other plant parts.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Transpiration'.
